I am happy to say we have successfuly weaned the soother! It has been 2 weeks now and THANK GOD! Considering Jason's stubborn nature I was afraid he would kick up more of a fuss. I am so glad I forgot it that day. The night before I was at the end of my rope with that thing and I think in my subconscious I had already decided it would be gone, so I forgot to take it to daycare. And the ladies (well most of them) made me feel better about it. Some of them still ask if we are bringing it but the more sensible of the lot said "don't worry! he's ok with out it!" Music to my ears.
When I shared the news to my mom and my sister they were less than enthusiastic about the situation. I don't know why... they don't live with him. They said "why? He's so young! he's just a baby" definately made me feel like I was the worst mom ever for taking his soother away. Like I tore him from his mommy and sent him packing to bording school already. At least I have been getting a better sleep and that definately makes for a less grumpy mommy.
Ok so bear with me, I just have to vent about something... so a friend of mine just had a baby, and a mutal friend of ours is making me feel bad that I have not rushed over arms wide open gifts in tow. I must say, my excuse has been that it has been difficult for me to find the time now that I am working full time and because of this our weekends are usually jam-packed. Now should I feel bad, because I don't really. This person took 6 months to come see Jason after he was born. Am I being shallow? Callous? I figured I'd wait for the shower to go over. Then I found out it is a week day and I am at work. Who does that? Have a baby shower in the middle of the week? Well she didn't come to mine either so I guess we're even... what would you do?

OK. first of all. congrats on ditching the soother.. :) My mom is the same when it comes to stuff like that. really, they just feel bad that you had a struggle for a few weeks I think. You had to do it eventually no matter what (they won't be sucking it in their grad photo, right?) so why wait if it was costing you sleep?
second of all.. about the friend who just had a baby and the mutual friend making you feel bad..
hmmm...
sounds crappy.
does that mutual friend feel the need to shove her nose in other people's business often? is she the friend with the baby's MOMMY or something?
It all sounds familiar... wonder why?
:P
You shouldn't feel bad. I wouldn't!
