Lesson learned

Eva is extremely attached to her pacifier. During a few crazy moments last week, i decided that the time had come to take away the pacifier for good. I'd say that it lasted all of three hours before i decided it was entirely more than i bargained for and postponing that event would be the best thing for the peace of the family. And really, it makes sense to deal with it later on. During this phase of her life, we are always on the move, meeting with people and keeping her up 'til the late hours of the night with our crazy schedules, and so to take away her source of comfort during this time just means added stress for us all. So for the time being, Eva gets to keep her pacifier and we all continue our busy, yet happy, lives. As Nathan likes to say, "If jan's happy, I'm happy. And if Eva's happy, Jan's happy!"

Good call! Until he was 1, our remedy was to have enough pacifiers on hand that we could never lose them all.
