The Pacifier Game

My son finds great entertainment in spitting the pacifier out of his mouth just so he can watch us put it back in again.  He truly wants the pacifier, because he cries when it falls out.  Or possibly he only wants the pacifier so he can spit it out again.  We are expected to play the game by his rules for as long as he deems the game should go on.  So, for an hour, I have been picking the pacifier up when he spits it out and putting it back into his waiting, expectant mouth, simply so he has the supreme pleasure of spitting it out again.  And every so often, he will be doing a jig in his crib with arms and legs flailing in all different directions, and he accidentally (or maybe not so accidentally) hit the edge of the pacifier and fling it to the farthest corner of the crib.  Although, I sometimes believe this is possibly out of spite or maybe just to see how committed I am to the game.
