A small miracle occurred last night

February 5, 2013

I have a feeling it is very early in the process to start talking about this, but yesterday was day 1 of weaning Lana from the pacifier. Cold turkey. Go big or go home, kids. I didn’t think we’d have to do this until much later, but she had gotten so dependent on it to [...]
