I hate myself for this:
Really, I just hate that I've given Grandpa Mike another grandkid to harass about the pacifier.
(Just kidding, Mike. Well, kinda. If you had moved out here and become our stay-at-home grandpa like you were supposed to, you could've prevented this.)
We were strongly against pacifiers but then we did some more research. There are lots of pros and cons which I won't get into. We noticed Evan really going at his hand/fingers/thumbs when he wanted to comfort suck. It was pretty obvious that he was going to suck on whatever was available to him. So, the biggest advantage to using a pacifier that we saw was that we can take it away. We can't cut his thumbs off. Well, we could but then we'd have to call him Johnny No Thumbs.
And, as a 5th grade thumb sucker myself, I thought maybe a pacifier was a wise decision. Someone should've made me Bonnie No Thumbs long before the 5th grade.
