Who needs a stinkin' pacifier?

We did it! Jaycee Ann Lohrer no longer needs a pacifier! Yippee! Monday morning I couldn't take it any longer. With both kids being sick for the past 2 weeks, we had been giving her pacifier to her more often. She is back to normal except for a little cough. On Monday, she was asking for her pacifier. I told her no that she didn't need it. Usually, she says Mommy I tired. B/c she knows if she takes a nap she will get it. (She was asking @ 10:30 a.m.) So she had a meltdown. I put her in the bed and told her she had to proof that she really needed a nap. So she sat on the bed crying. God just gave me the boldness and confidence to "break" her pacifier. I took the scissors and cut it.(Thanks Amanda) So I took that pacifier to her. She held it in her hand and cried. She kept saying Mommy my paci's broke. Then she would ask me for a good one. I told her I didn't have any good ones. Then she would go through the house saying, Good paci where are you? She didn't take a nap at that point. We decided to play kitchen for a while. That afternoon when it was time for a nap she asked again for a pacifier. I told her the only one I had was the broke one. She said no I don't want the broke one. She laid down her head and went to sleep. The rest is history!

In other news, Jackson is 11 mos. old today! I can't believe it! In 1 month we will celebrate his 1st birthday! Wow!

Also, Nana and Papa are coming to visit! YAY! They will be leaving a week from today or tomorrow. They are driving our Suburban down. They hope to arrive on Sunday March 2nd. So please pray for safe travels for them. We can't wait for their arrival. Jaycee talks about it all the time. When you ask her what Papa is going to do when he gets here and she says twist my arm off. (Not literally!) Then she says Nana will play with her!

I don't think too much else has happened over the past week. I look forward to Sunday though. We are having family pictures taken. So I can't wait to post them! Have a good one!
