Bye-Bye Paci ?!?

We have been trying to get Jade to separate from the good 'ole pacifier. He was getting his 2 year old molars in last week so we gave in for comfort. But on a normal day he only uses it for nap and bedtime. We have been telling Jade that we need to give our paci to Brooklyn when she's born because paci's are for babies and she will cry. Then we started talking about "mailing" our paci's to Houston (where my Mom and Dad live) to the babies there that are crying. Our friend Vanessa over the weekend was telling that she cut off the tip of her son's paci and then he didn't want it. All of these great ideas.
But who's better than Super Nanny??
Last night after dinner we were watching Super Nanny and she was helping a couple older kids (4 or 5 yrs old) get rid their paci's by finding them all around the house and putting them in a jar.... so TOTALLY Jade's idea "I want to put my paci in a jar!" I hopped up and found a jar and around the house we go. Now Jade only really has one paci but I found some of his infant paci's so he would feel like we went around the house to find all of them too. Jade proceeds to put the lid on the jar and puts the jar in his room on his shelf. Jade said, "I don't need paci anymore- I'm a big boy"!!!!!! HORRRAYYYY!! So last night (after of course a couple reminders that he didn't need paci and they were in a jar) Jade successful slept in his bed last night without paci. When he woke up this morning Jade asked Daddy "where's my paci?" Jason reminded him "Paci's in jar" and Jade was ok- ate his breakfast and off to school he went!!
Super Nanny saves again!! That was sooo much easier than I thought it would be.

Whata Night!

So it's 10pm and I should be in bed- being prego and all- however I am worried about Jade... to start Jade got his new big boy trundle bed 2 weeks ago and has been doing excellent sleeping in it! He hadn't fallen off and loved his new bed- so we figured that we could skip the whole bed rail stage... well- last week we had one incident where he fell off cried and went back to sleep. Yesterday morning Jason heard him crying "Daddy" and was on the floor- obviously fell off the bed. Well this morning I go in Jade's room to wake him up and he's not on his bed. He was sound asleep on the pillows I had laid on the floor. Again, fell off the bed.... ahhh, so tonight I went to Babies R Us and bought bed rails before we occur a broken bone. So it's 9pm and Jade was about to go to sleep- Jason is installing Jade's bed rail and Jade walks (or runs) in his room, trips over the big pillows on the floor and slams right into the wall. OOCH! He cries so hard and finally settles down. (I had just gotten finished reading in my Parents magazine the article "When to call the Doctor" and so I re-read the section on head trauma) Jason and I decide he's ok but will keep him up for a little while to watch him. Jade loving his new bed is now jumping on his bed and rolling around- I step out for 2 seconds and Jade is crying so hard again- his nose looks all smashed and he proceeds to tell me that now his head, nose, and chin hurt. All over evaluation happens and so we were all laying in our bed watching Jade's favorite Olympic sport- swimming. I was ready to go to the Dr.- Jason tried to convince me that he is ok. So needless to say Jade is asleep now and I am worried sick about him!! These Boys!!! And yes, Jade got a big shiner on his forehead!!
