bye bye, paci

We're finally pulling the paci plug on Piper; cold turkey and altogether. It's a huge crutch and something has to change with her and her bedtime routine. While I know she's still a baby, I also need my sanity.  We've hit an all time low and I'm hoping this will be the ultimate solution. Lately her nightly outburst have me nearly in tears and I constantly feel as if I'm running on empty. I don't want to say what time she went to bed and whether or not we've heard a peep from her as of yet (because the universe is great when you want a slap in the face), but I will say that when your toddler is eager enough for a paci she will get creative when it comes to items to gnaw at. 

Barbie cake platter anyone?
