We are still struggling with weaning Troy off a pacifier. He mainly only “needs” it when he’s going to sleep. If we don’t give it to him, he’ll throw a full-out tantrum. Which is funny, because they don’t give it to him at the daycare during his naps. So, it’s psychological to home. We’ll give him one to calm him at night, and then we keep extras near his bed in case he wakes up in the middle of the night. It’s easier than trying to find the one he’d lost.
He has four different colors; green, blue, purple, and pink. He seems to have a preference for which one he wants at which time. It’s like each one expresses a different mood. I’ve started to refer to them as his mood pacifiers, like the old mood rings that would supposedly change colors with your mood.
Last night, he had gotten one to go to sleep and one in the night, so he had two in the crib with him. He had somehow found them both and was holding one in each hand, changing them back and forth. It was like he couldn’t decide what mood he was in. Or maybe neither fully expressed his mood, and he was using the combination to come up with a new mood altogether. Either way, it was fun to watch him.
