We gave in...

...and it was the best decision we ever made!!!!!!! After a week of NOT sleeping through the night (yes, it still can potentially happen with toddlers), we gave in and gave Charlotte her pacifier, which she had probably been without for a couple of months.

Good thing we are in the midst of packing, because I wouldn't have even remembered where I put it, but yesterday I went into my jewelry box and found it, so at 10 pm at night when Charlotte started screaming out I kept the thought in the back of my mind that the pacifier is accessible. We went in, gave her Motrin, which still didn't help (or at least it didn't stop the screaming), and tried to comfort her to no avail. Greg and I went back to bed, still with Charlotte screaming, and I pulled out the pacifier.

We all slept through the night, except I did get up at 5, probably out of habit of getting awoken sometime between 2 and 4. Oh, and Charlotte is STILL sleeping at 7:20 am!!

Hmm, I wish Joshua would still take a pacifier. He is also doing the toddler waking up in the middle of the night thing, but as he hasn't wanted a pacifier since he was 8 mo. old, I don't think this will work :(. Yay for you getting more sleep!
