Pacifier

After last week's abortive attempt to go cold turkey on the pacifier, we have a new detente where Jack gets the pacifier only in the crib at night. Tanny, his day care lady, is under instructions to give in only when he goes down for a nap. We maintain a united front.

At the park, Jack will randomly announce that he's a big boy and doesn't need his paci but this self-confidence erodes when push comes to shove at bed time. No matter, some measure of progress and Jack seems okay with the new rules.
