Ode to the pacifier

O Mighty Pacifier! Oh Rescuer of souls, Bringer of peace, Withholder of despair, Calmer of nerves!

O Miraculous Dummy! Forgive my initial distrust of your magic, your ability to turn the frantic cries of a baby in torment into the contented sucks of an angel in heaven. I am a fervent follower of your fabulous finesse.

O Powerful Placator! You turn all-powerful statesman green with envy when confronted with your peace making talents. Your pain killing properties surpass those of the most potent opiate.

O Soother of souls! O Assuager of fear! O Proficient Appeaser!

I bow before your unlimited power and worship your Majesty.

      Kei wouldn’t have the pacifier until only about two months ago, then for whatever reason, she picked up on it.

      She’ll be one year old this Friday 8/11. :)

      Yes, I understand COMPLETELY. I vowed NEVER to use a dummy on my little one, but severe colic induced hour long screaming fits changed my mind. Now it’s the number one way to calm and soothe and nothing else comes close.

      You are so lucky - my little one doesn’t accept any kind of pacifier but me when I put him to bed… Thank goodness he’s not been crying a lot (yet).

      Took a look at your photos on Flickr: Isabelle is absolutely adorable!
