So I finally decided to get rid of Aidan's pacifier over Memorial Day weekend. The first couple of nights and naps went okay with him crying just a few minutes and then going quiet. He would sleep through the whole night without a problem and took his normal nap without a problem.
But after a few days of things going that way I thought it would get better, but it wasn't, it was actually getting worse. He would scream for 15-20 minutes at a time until he would finally quiet down. And now for the past week or so he gives us a hard time whenever we say it is night, night time or nap time. He used to go so willingly and easily. Now when we try to read to him or sing to him before we put him in the crib he fights us to get out of the room. Then when we finally put him in the crib he screams for about 10 minutes and then is fine and will sometimes talk until he goes to sleep.
I just thought that by now things would be so much easier and he wouldn't put up such a fight. I am praying that this doesn't continue until we switch him over to a bed because then I am sure he will not stay in the bed and will continuously get up.
Never thought it would be this long of a process; we are going on almost 2 weeks now.
