We are officially working on breaking Carly from her pacifier…. this is proving to be no easy feat- especially since she seems to have them hidden in every corner of the house.  She is so attached– more than Avery ever was- thus she is way more creative when trying to scam them. She has only had them during naptime or bedtime for months now and everything that revolves around that has gone very smoothly, however now that we are 2 days and nights in to the process and we have heard so many reasons why she now can’t go to bed if she can’t have her paci.  Here’s a preview…

~ she needs Juice

~ she needs her Puppy

~ She needs medicine

~ her Toe hurts

~ she needs more juice

~ her Tongue hurts

~ Puppy fell out of bed

~ it’s too dark

~ it’s scary

~ Sissy is sleeping (as she says this, she is carrying her suitcase downstairs as if she is moving out)

~ there are monsters

~ she’s not tired

~ “I don’t know how to close my eyes” – Avery helped her with that one

and finally, “I don’t know how to sleep”.

So, this is what we have been dealing with the last few days…. needless to say, it’s been exhausting.  BUT, we are making some headway and I think things should be back to normal in just a few days– here’s hoping!
