Alex has never been super attached to her pacifiers... but if you gave it to her, she was happy to have it. We worked hard not let her have it all the time and for the last few months it has been a bedtime only item. When she would wake in the morning I would say,"can I have your pacifier?", and she would happily hand it to me in exchange for some snuggle time. Lately though, handing me the pacifier is her way to signify that her night/nap is finished. It became part of the bedtime routine... bath, PJ, pacifier, Barnyard Dance, Goodnight Moon, singing, sleepy time.
It has always been our intention to get her off it while she's still pretty young, and we decided that her attachment to the idea of it, to the routine, everyday comfort of it was growing so...
As of last Sunday Alex is binky-free (cold turkey) at home. Very little drama involved. Bedtime and nap time have been a little slower, but that's about it. Tomorrow we will get the one from daycare and hopefully she will be done for good.We'll see how that goes...

Love the piggy pj's! And good work on geting rid of the pacifier. We are still working on that in our house (we're down to only when sleeping) I'm sure Alex will be so happy at daycare she won't even think about her pacifier! (Has she moved to Max's room yet?)
