Almost 3 weeks since the Pacifier Fairy came and took Bella's Pacifiers away, we're still having some LATE nights where she's waking up and isn't able to settle herself. We are definitely conflicted on how to help - if we let her cry, she sometimes goes down, sometimes escalates. But if we go in, she seems to get even more revved up. Last night she was standing in our doorway screaming for us to "Go Downstairs!!!", until she collapsed in a heap.
Every day I think... maybe I should let her have a pacifier. But no, this is the right thing.
So tonight, for her sleepover with Jenny, she was getting ready for bed in her old crib (Jenny's much taller, so she wouldn't fit), and she actually found a pacifier in her old room. And POP it went into her mouth. And I had to talk it back out of her mouth... but more importantly, she actually seemed to be disappointed in the feeling of the pacifier, that it wasn't quite the magic she remembered.... So maybe this is a good thing.
(rereading this, I did mean "talk" it out, not take it out. She gave it back to me.)
Parenting is great, but sometimes these "lessons" are not so fun.
