keep forgetting to mention pacis aren't forever

So we ditched the paci back in January. We started out by not allowing it at nap at daycare (on Monday) and I stopped giving one for the ride home from daycare, but allowing it at bedtime at home. He did fine with this so then it just became a question of when to pull the night plug. We were headed out of town for the day on that Saturday so we allowed it Friday night, but didn't take one in the car for the road trip. That night once we were back home when we went through our bedtime routine and we just kind of rushed past the part where we normally would have asked where the paci was, etc. In the days that followed he only asked for it once or twice and we kind of ignored it and got him busy with other things. I also made sure to throw them all out so he wouldn't find one and I wouldn't cave in and give him one. So it's been a full month of no paci and he doesn't ask for it at all. It's kind of good, he is such an easy going little guy, but it makes me sad too b/c he is definitely not a baby anymore either.
