It was time. I knew it was coming and a trip to the dentist confirmed that it needed to happen soon. I dreaded it because she loved her pacifier SO much.
So the story goes that the baby birdies needed the pacifier now and it was time to set the binky free. We tied the two pacifiers in the house to helium filled balloons. We went to the beach and after setting them free the Mama birdie would find the balloons and bring them to her babies. Kenzie would also be treated to a trip to the toy store the following day. I did all I could to entice this new binky free world for her.
So after all that, what I realize is that none of this “stuff” mattered to her. All I really needed to do was not give her the pacifier one night and that would have been the end of it. I think Korben had more fun with the balloons and at the store than she did.
Our house is now pacifier free. I’ve been waiting to write that for a long time now.
