I can't believe I've been suffering (and I'm sure Jae too) for no reason. No reason at all! I was checking in with one of our supervisors today, about an issue, and we were talking about how tired I was. I told her how Jae has been having so much trouble sleeping all of the sudden; naps and night. It's been terrible. He doesn't want to go to sleep, talks, scratches, whatever. Then, it donned on me while we were talking that this started about the same time as I started to snip his paci....3 weeks ago. I started to snip it hoping he would give up what was left of his addiction. He just takes it in bed, but after talking to another mom who said this works, I thought I'd try. The other 4 gave it up cold turkey by 2, but I didn't see that happening with little man.
So tonight we decided to experiment. I gave him one of the reserves I was keeping and sure enough it worked. He went to bed, stayed in bed and fell asleep right away. No, 1-2 hours of coming out of his room, going through his drawers, throwing toys around the room, whatever. He's sleeping. All this because I snipped his stinkin' paci. Looks like he'll be keeping it bit longer.

When Brian picked up Jaemin and Chelsi yesterday, he was just saying how Jaemin was not sleeping at naps or nights. And I just told him he slept three hours for a nap that day and I was worried he would not sleep last night because he slept so long during his nap. I had forgotten he had his regular paci here and the snipped one at home.
