Adios Chupi!

Now that Mimi's finally growing teeth (and a whole bunch at the same time too), we've decided it's time she quits the chupi (aka pacifier).

It's been exactly two weeks since we've quit giving Romina the chupi  and it wasn't as tough as I tought it would be.  She struggled the first few nights, waking up a couple times or so throughout the night knowing that she was missing something terribly.  She eventually settled in nicely, but the putting her to sleep part got rough.

Before making her quit cold turkey, I would give her her sippy cup of milk, read to her while she's drifting off, give her her chupi (she multi-tasked:  drink her milk with one hand while holding her chupi w/ the other whenever she's ready for it), kiss her goodnight, turn off her lamp, then leave her room quietly.  It worked like a charm.  She always fell asleep.

Now it's a little bit of a debacle.

She always whines and cries when I leave her room.  Of course, only daddy can calm her down; and she always calms down and goes to sleep for him.

Anway, each night is getting better.

We're off to the next adventure.
