such a big boy...except for the paci!!!




he's doing so good w/ his "big boy bed!" i actually think he sleeps better in it rather than his crib. i think he will be an official big boy when he is fully potty trained and don't have his paci anymore. he's doing so good w/ the potty training. he's been going w/ dry diapers throughout the night since he was 17mths. he pretty much uses the potty every morning and averages 1 to 2 other times during the day. he does lots better when he's at school rather than at home, b/c he likes being like the other kids. we're not pushing the issue quite yet, but when he wants to use it, we don't mind! now the paci, that it a different story. we really only like for him to have for nap time and at night and ever since we started trying that, he ask for it a whole lot more. i think that actually makes it worse. any suggestions? i just don't want it to mess his mouth up. buger and i joke around and say that he's gonna have it when he goes to kindergarten along w/ his night night (blanket) too. hopefully that won't be the case, so for now, we'll just give him what he wants.

We had that issue too! I think the biggest thing is staying consistent, and Don't give in!! First try, after he falls asleep good, then take the paci out and only give it to him if he starts crying, and then take it out again. Build up to taking it away before he goes to sleep. I hope this makes sense and helps! Good Luck!

YAY Brady! Seems like you're doing so good with your potty training!
And, fortunately, I have not had to go through the "paci-withdrawls" yet, but I know it's not going to be an easy task. Good luck with both things though!
