I couldn't do it -- he's peacefully sleeping, sucking on his MiMi.

I think he may have been extra restless because he was hot.  Our house is 77 degrees and his hair was matted to his head from sweat.  He's a little furnace like his dad, so maybe he was just uncomfortable.  I lasted a few minutes, but gave him back the MiMi.  He still wouldn't chill and started crying again.  I turned on the air and laid with him until he was snoring.

The crib is out -- he climbed out of it several times.  I think he's just testing his boundaries.  He slept fabulously in his bed from August until a couple weeks ago.  He'd lay right down at 7:30pm and be out until 7:30 or 8 the next morning without a peep and wouldn't get out until one of us came to get him.

I realize now taking the MiMi isn't a real logical consequence, but the threat worked so well...until tonight.  And then I felt I had to follow through.  Hopefully tomorrow night goes better.

Glad he's sleeping. A can be a beast if she gets too hot. It always takes me forever to figure out when that's the problem and then I feel dumb.

I gave in the first night of taking away the paci too.  I just could not take her crying when I knew there was such a simple solution.  I tried again a month later and operation no paci 2 went perfectly smoothly.  However, I talked it up for about a week before I really took it away!  Good luck!
