World War 3: Breaking The Girls of The Pacifier!!

It has finally come to this...the end of an era when the girls were given pacifiers. Addison had been broken for quite some time, and while it was tough, she was ok with not having one. However, the last 2 months have been terrible! She's been stealing them from Lauryn and hiding them from us. Little stinker!

I am ready for Lauryn to be done, too, so I took some drastic measures. I gathered up each pacifier that we had, and I cut a slit down the middle of each one. Not enough to make it fall apart, but enough to where it wouldn't work right. Then I just let the girls run around with it like they normally do. They both noticed right away that something was wrong with it, and Addison asked me repeatedly to fix her "fier." I just told her I didn't know how to fix it and if she wanted it, she'd have to deal with the "fier's" owies.

The method suggests then that every 2-3 days you cut a snippet off the end of it. Eventually they will get no satisfaction out of it, and hopefully be done with it. I think it'll be tougher for Lauryn because she's never been broken of it, but Addison...well, she better get used to not having it again! I go back to work in 2 weeks and I want the pacifier's gone!! We'll see how it goes!
