So Long, Pacifier

Today begins the first day of weaning Tali from her pacifier and it will start with her morning nap. At her last doctor's visit I was told it's time and the doctor told me the best way to do it - take a gradual, one nap at a time process. She said to expect a week of crying before she gets used to going to sleep without it. After she's accomplished sleeping without it during her morning nap, it's on to the afternoon nap and another week of crying. And then, on to bedtime and another week of crying. I expect this whole process to take about a month or so and it won't be easy for Tali or me. I was told to leave her in the crib for the hour, even if she screams, so I'm planning lots of projects to distract me. Wish me luck!
