Pacifier Mystery Solved

By Dan -
So for the last week or two I have been complaining to Dan that Marie hardly has any pacifiers in her room and crib. Typically we have like 5 or 6 in there and so if she throws out one or two, it isn't a problem. Well they have been disappearing and I kept thinking - we have a green one, a yellow one...two blue ones, a pink one and on so - Where are they all? Because I could think through all the colors I knew I wasn't crazy. So then it occurred to me that Marie could be stockpiling them somewhere in her room so I started looking in various bins, baskets and drawers and still couldn't find them. Thursday morning when she has woken up from the night, I went in to get her and I see her standing on her tip-toes facing the wall with something in her hand. She is reaching up and about to drop a pacifier behind the crib - AH HA! I caught you red-handed!! I pull the crib out from the wall and clink-clink-clink the stockpile falls to the ground - 9 PACIFIERS in all and she was about to drop the 10th!!!! Can you believe that? (I will have you know, I did check under the crib but because of the crib skirt, if any had actually made it to the ground, I couldn't see them and regardless, most were stuck between the wall and crib anyway. She has already dropped another 4 back there since my discovery.)

A Few More of my Favorite (Mommy) Things

I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...

Last year my mother-in-law gave us a plastic snow globe, which, the kids LOVE. I think that's in part because they are actually allowed to play with it and real snow globes are off limits. With JJ it is a very good thing real snow globes are off limits. Just watch this:

One of my favorite (no, it is my FAVORITE) blogs is It's Almost Naptime and Missy is doing a Mom-to-Mom post where anyone (even the likes of me) can submit some of their mommy tips and how-tos to make life easier. So without further ado here are some of my favorite things, with and without photos: Contoured Laundry Basket - a MUST-HAVE for any mom with a baby - you can hold it and the baby while going up and down the stairs! And even when you aren't holding a baby, you are likely holding something else. The Time Timer - a visual "clock" for kids who can't yet tell time. We use it for quiet time and I can put up to 2 hours on the clock (the red can wrap around twice) and tell Marie she can come out of her room when "all the red is gone." It's on the expensive side but very cool. (Thanks for telling me about it Jane.) Frozen, Rotten Bananas - well kind of... our household won't eat bananas if they are the slightest bit mushy. Once they ar...
