"They" (whoever they are) say that babies should be off pacis by one year. About two weeks ago, we were talking about how we were going to have to break Henry of his paci habit. The girls never really took to a paci, unless they were taking Henry's paci for purely antagonistic purposes. Gary and I spent a while talking about what to do with Henry's paci, then pretty much decided that we would deal with it later (yeah, mature decision). Well, Henry must have overheard us talking because that night we handed him his paci and he threw it out of his crib. We gave it back to him, and again he threw it out. Because we're kind of slow, we gave it to him one more time and he threw it out of the crib again. So, we said, okay you don't get a paci tonight.
Well, he didn't seem to mind. He went right to sleep without fussing and woke up happy and well-rested the next morning. So, we went around the house and rounded up all the pacis we could find (I know we're going to be finding those darn things for years) and put them up. It's amazing. We have had almost no issue with getting rid of the pacis. . . .
I say almost.
I found Henry in the playroom the other day with this:
And what is that you say? Well, it's a puzzle piece, that happens to kind of resemble a paci. . . .
Oh well, what can you do?

Matt just up and gave up the paci at 11 months no warning just would start screaming if it came anywhere near his mouth.
