Night 3 and beyond: Night time has gotten progressively easier for Makena without the paci. As of night 3 she has stayed in her bed at night. She tends to get up a little earlier than before since she has issues soothing herself back to sleep. We may spend a little more time with her to get her ready for bed but other than an extra book, song, or a second prayer we really haven't had much trouble. She may try a few more stall tactics but ultimately at night she has done pretty well.
Naptime however...totally different story. She has a hard time going down for her nap and if she ever wakes up too soon we have a screamer on our hands.
She confirms daily that she "gave paci's to mommy" and we then walk through what Mommy gave to her. It is so precious and is hard sometimes to stick to our guns but again we know it is for the best.
A couple of days ago she found some of her old 'little" paci I had stored in a box. She did very good saying they were the baby's paci until she came across one that was more her size. I found her sneaking it into her mouth but after only one time telling her she didn't attempt it again.
I love my big girl! Sometimes growing up is a little hard but she has done great!
