Playing the Game
So the Dr. said that I needed to go on and stop the passy use at Kale's 15 month check-up. I was at some advantage, because Kale only used his passy at bedtime. This was still going to be hard. The Dr. told me to try cutting holes in the passy and he would eventually not want it because it wouldn't work as he wanted it. Well, that didn't work at all. My genius son figured out how to plug the air hole on the front of the passy with his hand and get the suction he wanted out of it. So we slept with holey passies for a while, and at 18 months I decided it was finally time to really do this. So I knew the only other way was to go cold turkey! So I waited until after vacation times because I could not imagine no passies in a place unfamiliar with him. So when we got back home for the summer he suddenly began NOT wanting to go to sleep. He faught naps and bedtime (still with passy), and I couldn't figure it out. He used to LOVE night-night time! So I took advantage of this big time. I knew I was going to have to let him cry himself to sleep because there was no getting around not going to sleep. So I snatched passy!!!! Brilliant if I do say so myself. If you are going to cry because you don't want to go to sleep then go on and cry because you don't have passy too! When it began he cried for a good 10 minutes. It has slowly gotten better and now may fuss a little for just a few minutes. We are now going on a full week of no passy and getting better at going right to sleep when put in his crib. YAY!!!! Playing Smart or Playing Dirty....call it what you want, but the job is done at 18 months!!!! Soon he will never know there was such a thing as passy!
