I got myself a new topic to worry about - Jude's pacifier addiction. I had wanted to wean him off a few months ago and had actually successfully put him to bed many times without the pacifier. But when we are at my mum's place, he has problems sleeping, so i will let him have it, in order for my parents to rest properly.
and tonight i decided to work on it again. i did not remind him about his pacifier and went on with the storybooks and lullabies. The boy looked happy and didn't seem to miss his tutu.
I was damn wrong. He could hardly get to sleep! After a few minutes of lights-out, he starting crying, then bawling. i was determined not to give in. so i carried him and tried to comfort him. But it didn't help. It went on for 15min and he became hysterical. I gave up and gave him the pacifier, but he didn't stop crying! in fact he was inconsolable, probably becos of the wind that had gathered in his tummy. the crying went on for more than 1 hour before he finally drifted off to slumberland in my going-to-break arms.

that's it. the pacifier is yours, Jude. you win!
