Yes, Eva is a pacifier user. For the longest while, her need for the pacifier was limited to naps and bedtime. She had a tough time while Les was gone this summer. It was very apparent she missed her daddy. Suddenly comfort objects like her blanket and pacy were used to calm and comfort herself. While this has improved, she is more dependent on her pacifier than we liked.
Last night we started to tell her about the "Pacy Fairy:" a fairy who comes to the house and takes pacifiers from the big kids who no longer need them and gives them to babies. (Yes, already we are telling our child made-up truths.) She listened carefully to our story and pondered the idea.
After some thought, she responded, "Pacy help me be happy." Followed by, "Pacy help me feel much better." (You've got to hand it to her, the kid has logic).
Later, after more mention of the fantastical Pacy fairy, Eva replied, "I think about it."
We'll let her marinate on this one for a few more days until the Fairy's appearance sometime soon.

Y'know, Randy offered to come and negotiate with Eva. He single-handedly managed both pacifier removal and potty training. He won't tell me how he did it though. Magic!
