Oh No!!

The unthinkable has finally happened!!  The tip of Elijah's pacifier has come off!

 

The last week of school I noticed Elijah had chewed a hole in the end of his pacifier.  I was hoping it would last until school was out when I was planning on weaning him off.  We had been putting it away except at nap and bed time and he was doing well. 

 

This past weekend we went down to my parents house to celebrate birthdays.  By this time, he had chewed numerous holes and I was starting to worry about him swallowing it or choking on it.  We were in the middle of Sunday School and I had gone out with Madison (she was doing lots of squealing :) ).  The next thing I knew, Justin and Elijah were joining me.  The pacifier end had come off....

(Most Sundays in the middle of church we could give him his pacifier and he would lay his head down on Justin's shoulder and fall asleep.)

 

I was rather worried about the service.  We had several tense moments, but we made it!  Afterward we decided to check out a couple of Veggie Tales DVD's for Elijah to watch before he goes to bed.  He held those DVD's the entire 2 hour trip home.  That night he slept with them and has insisted on sleeping with them ever since.  Here he is clutching his DVD's!  

The poor little guy does not know how a library works and that he is going to have to return his DVD's.  I had an idea the other night and ordered him a stuffed Bob the Tomato. (He's the tomato off of Veggie Tales)  Bob has yet to arrive, but when he does, I'm hoping little Elijah forgets about his DVD's and starts snuggling Bob in his sleep.
