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.
