The Great Paci Mystery

I'm clueless to where paci's seem to disappear to.  It seems I buy pacifiers like every week and they all find a home somewhere else.  We will turn the house upside down looking for one as if it is a magic volume control for my sons.  The fact that we can't keep up with something so simple drives me crazy!  To the point that I will grunt and stomp around, holding my crying baby trying to find the darn thing.  My husband doesn't know why it makes me so nuts to lose things but that is the one thing about parent hood that I haven't grasped well.  I mean I don't lose my cell phone or my car keys.  A paci is a VERY important thing to have. 

This week I have resorted to only keeping one in the crib, one attached to the car seat and one at daycare.  Surely 3 paci's per baby is enough.  I'd really like to break them of it all together.  Isaiah has never been much on a paci except in the middle of the night to give Mommy a few more hours sleep.  He's always self soothed faily well so I don't think it will be a problem in the future.  Samuel on the other had LOVES his paci.  Right now he's teething so he's starting to spit it out more often.  But when he's really crying, it works like magic.  I'm hoping we can at least keep up with the 6 we have left and that will be the end of paci's in our house.  Nothing drives me more crazy than to see a 2 year old trying to talk to you with a paci in their mouth.  Every child is different, but I'm hoping I can avert the whole issue of really ripping it out of my crying son's hands and saying bye bye to it when they can understand what's going on.  Maybe the missing paci's are hanging out with missing socks from the dryer! 

Traveling with Twins

These babies are amazing!  I mean, really amazing!  We drove 7 successful hours to and from KY with no glitches.  They slept most all of the way and only for about 45 minutes did Samuel get fussy.  He was hungry and cutting a tooth.  I guess I'll cut the little guy some slack. 

We had a great time in KY visiting family and of course everyone loved the boys.  My dad got a bum knee while we were there, but it didn't slow him down any that's for sure.  We had such a blast and miss everyone so much.
