This is Kind of a BIG Deal...

Reid is pacifier free! Six weeks ago our family embarked on the long...LONG...hard...HARD journey of ridding our 2 1/2-year-old of his infamous "pie." This might not be very daunting for other parents, but you see, Reid has had his popeye since the day he was born, and has not been without it since...the same big saucer-like pacifier for nearly three years. He slept with it, took a bath with it, played with it, sat it on his highchair while he ate, and many times, he would tote two or three extras around for moral support. He was as addicted to his pacifier as a smoker is to a cigarette. But after about two weeks of he...well...you know what...he has been such a trooper and here we are, over a month later, and my sweet boy is one step closer to growing up!


Just thought I would share a timeline of popeye pics. This is literally from the day he was born...
