The Pacifier

I am the biggest fan of the pacifier. We have been trying for three weeks to get our darling little boy to take a pacifier. He did really well taking one in the hospital but as soon as we arrived home he decided that he wasn't interested. I know that Target greatly appreciated our business because I think we purchased almost every kind they had available. We tried in vain to get him to accept this gift we were giving to him but instead he took it as torture. He would scream with his mouth open and then get his hand under it where he would proceed to launch it across the room. If he calmed down enough to realize something was in his mouth and not just on his face then he would take it, but those moments were rare. While he was in his swing the other day he started to cry. I thought I would try the hospital pacifier once again because I had not tried that one since he stopped taking it and lo and behold, MAGIC HAPPENED!!! He liked it! If it fell out and I put it back in he would take it back. He even decided to try and hold it in on his own. I hope that I am not jinxing myself by writing about this momentous event, but what a fabulous invention. Thanks to the pacifier creator!
