Reece's pacifier, aka his "Pa" or "Bah", went "missing" on January 17, 2012 just two weeks shy of his second birthday.
Aaron and I had been talking about poking holes in it to lessen its resistance and having Reece wean himself from a "broken" pacifier. That was going to happen as soon as he turned two.
Well, on the 17th as I was lying him down for a nap he didn't have it and didn't ask for it.
Just as I was getting ready to get it for him the thought occurred that we could go for it... cold turkey. I laid him down and he slept for over two hours! He did ask for it when he woke, and I told him that I didn't know where it was and that I would look for it.
After that, we were committed. That night he asked for it and I told him I would keep looking.
He said "Okay" (phew!).
Unfortunately, he woke at 3:30AM crying. We were able to settle him and he went back to sleep smoothly (another phew!).
Since then we are still occasionally "looking" for his Pa, but Reece has transitioned well. He sleeps through the night and takes good naps without it.
It helps that he still sleeps with RuffRuff :)
