Giving up the pacifier

Our friends are preparing their son, Nathan, for the day when he will need to give up his pacifier. I told Kathryn about this, and I asked her if she had any advice for Nathan. This is what she had to say:

You know, I was sad too when I had to give up my pacifier, until I knew that I didn’t need to worry about it – because I knew that I didn’t need it anymore, because I am a big girl now. As you grow up, you don’t need to worry. And try not to ask for your pacifier as much as I did when I was little.

Congratulations on becoming a big boy Nathan!
