I guess there is something to be said for just waiting until it’s time, but I HATE that Myles uses the pacifier even though we only let him have it when he’s sleeping. I weaned him from car paci a few months ago and I wondered for a few weeks if I was just making things harder on myself and shouldn’t just let him have the damn thing.
So glad it all went down with no drama, that’s awesome.

Hey, that’s awesome! My son lost his ‘binkie’ and we suffered, I mean suffered, for a whole week. Even now — three years later — he has trouble falling asleep at night.

You dodged the orthodontic bullet for a couple of more years – HIGH FIVE.

And isn’t it amazing how those hurdles that appear huge (like Nuk) can be so easy to jump. If only all challenges were so easy.

Oh, I am so glad to hear that (about the hygienist). As we discussed, I think it’s pretty much BS that your dentist waved the threat of orthodontia as justification for giving you hell about the thumb-sucking. Just about everybody gets braces these days anyway.

It is SO hard to get rid of the sucking comforts! I don’t envy you on that.

Wow, I know a lot of moms who would envy that Nuk story! With all of the other stress this summer, I’m glad that was relatively pain-free.

And, hey, two years more to save up for that unusually expensive hardware. Very lucky! Who knows? Maybe the price will drop for those, too. Wouldn’t that be great? Then, if she doesn’t need them, it’ll be like getting a bonus out of nowhere. Hmmm, maybe I’ll try that myself.

I think it just goes to show that no matter how much hand wringing we do, things just happen when they need to happen… and it’s AWESOME!

Nuk-free, whoo-hoo! Congrats. That was such a huge step for Q-ster too.

One note about the other one: I was a thumb-sucker and didn’t braces. My sister was not, and she did need braces. So sometimes it doesn’t make any difference at all.
