We did it! We finally got rid of the pacifier! Brandon and I were very worried about getting rid of it, in fact we were terrified of how Colton would handle it. He's quite emotional sometimes, and as Brandon often says, "We can't guarantee anything with that psycho." He can be the happiest kid ever, but sometimes when things aren't just right he loses all control.
We weren't planning on getting rid of the "B" just yet, as we have a trip coming up next week and thought it would be best to have the security of the pacifier with us in the hotel, however, we lost the last two pacifiers all in the same day. So we decided that we might as well just go for it! And I must say that it went quite a bit smoother than what we had anticipated! He cried the first two nights right when we put him to bed, and had a hard time napping for a few days, but then it just clicked and he was totally ok. He even found one of the lost "B"s and brought it right to me and we threw it in the garbage together.
We are so proud of him and how he handled it, and now we just need to get the guts to move him to the toddler bed!
