The other day, Matt and I were contemplating which will be more difficult for us--to get Anna potty trained or to get rid of the pacifier. We figured that giving up the pacifier will be way harder for Anna--and us! She (usually) only has it at nap and bed time, but lately often will go get it out of her bed and walk around with it in her mouth. Yesterday, was one of those days. After taking her pacifier out of her bed and walking around with it, she dropped it somewhere. At nap time, we couldn't find it, so I found a different one for her. When it was bed time, she got the second pacifier out of her bed to use while we read books. Then she found the first one.
Then I was suddenly inspired to tell her that the second one was broken and she should throw it away. I showed her the tiny hole it in and again told her she needed to throw it away because it was broken--AND SHE DID, a little hesitantly, but she did it!! I was shocked!

As shocked as I was, I still think giving up diapers is going to be Anna's easier task this summer.

Good luck with the potty training! Once they are ready to do it, it's easy. It is the waiting for them to be ready that's the hard part!
Way to go, Anna! You're on your way to becomming a BIG GIRL!
