Months ago I taught Charlotte to put her pacifier in her own mouth. It was really fun to watch her go from not figuring it out, to feeling for the right part in her mouth, to the expert she is today. I did this with the idea that she would learn how to put it in at night so that she can go back to sleep by herself. Up until now she's not been doing that. There have always been a few times when one or the other of us has to get up to put the pacifier back in and then go back to sleep. Not that this is a big deal, because you don't really need to be awake to find a pacifier, but it was becoming a hassle.
Then came last night. We did all the same things. She went to bed at 7 and then I nursed her right before I went to bed. Then, the next thing I knew it was 6:30 AM and my husband was leaning down to kiss me good bye! Hallelujah! She's figured it out! She can put herself back to sleep! This is so amazing! Now if we can just keep this trend going.
