Dreyton has been attached to soothers since he was a newborn, when we got Zoë off of the soother we put him to just having it at nights.
Well the time has come and gone to get rid of them for good.
We made a big deal and put his soother in an envelope to send it off to another baby and put it in the mailbox (no address and no stamp, the mailman got a weird surprise the next day). Then we went straight to toys-r-us and he got to pick out a puppy (Zoë picked out a puppy when she did so we kept with the tradition).
Lee was in Red Deer during this time so I had the LUCKY night of taking care of him waking up every hour wanting his soother. Well... the next day we decided at last minute to meet Lee in Red Deer so I relinquished and gave him back another of his soothers so we could get him to sleep in a hotel....
Well, after camping this weekend his soother was packed away in the van and we weren't going to unpack till the next day so we told him baby Logan (sorry Wendy, Dreyton might be a little bitter at him for awhile) needed it and he is a big boy and no longer needs it. He went straight to sleep with that answer and has been great ever since. Lee has a little bit of a issue learning to comfort him in the night instead of give him a soother but he's getting better as each day goes on.
good on ya, i am terrified to get hannah off of hers she isnt sleeping as it is
ReplyDeleteGood for Dreyton, he catches on fast! Love that picture, those blue blue eyes, gorgeous (or as Dayn used to spell it "gorchus" ...I still have the proof!)
