Well we fianlly did it! We packed up all of Austin's plugs(pacifiers) and this weekend when we saw Sussa(Melissa) we gave them to her baby before we left. I had been telling Austin for about 2 weeks now that we were going to give his plugs to Sussa for her baby. He is 2 1/2 and a big boy and I'm tired of him always having a plug in his mouth. We all relied on it way to much, it was just too easy to put a plug in his mouth if he got too loud or was crying. I didn't want him to be like Andrew was and not get rid of it until he was over 3 years old.
So monday before we left to come home we put all his plugs in a gift bag and gave to Baby Poppy. It was Austin's present to her, at least that's what we were telling him.
I literaly took the one out of his mouth and handed it over to her. He said goodbye to them and in return Sussa gave him a bag of his favorite treats, Reeses Peanutbutter cups.
So we drive off into the sunset and austin seemed just fine, not a tear.
Austin fell asleep in the car on the way home just fine without it too... and then we get to Victoria. He saw that we were near home and the water works began. The first night was ugly rough, the next morning wasn't much better. Yesterday was rougher and harder than we thought it would be. Last night was a little easier, but he was up and asking for his plug at 6 am this morning.
We will make through though...
Now I just have to make sure he doesn't steal Baby Poppy's plugs out of her mouth cuz he wants it back.

Poor guy! He's not a baby anymore. We don't have a baby to give them to, so we're doing (in about 8 months) the Super Nanny thing and having the Pacifier Fairy make a visit. Of course, when she's four and has a new sibling, we might have a little freak out session when the pacifiers come back out...
aww poor austin...good luck!!!
