Pacifier Training

Since Troy has pinkeye, I took off to stay home with him today. We were sitting on the couch after one of his bottles, and he was on my lap, facing me. I’m not sure if I looked sad or upset, but he took the pacifier out of his mouth and handed it to me. Not wanting to contaminate it, I took it with my hand and pretended to suck on it before handing it back to him. He took it and immediately handed it back to me. I again pretended to suck on it. His face suddenly broke into a huge grin, and he shook his head “no.” I handed him back the pacifier, asking, “Am I not doing it right?” He again shook his head “no,” took the pacifier, and this time tried to stick it directly in my mouth to show me how it’s done. I burst into a fit of laughter. He’s such a fun baby, and he’s so smart that he’s starting to see through my bull!
