The Paci Rears Its Ugly Head

Usually my Mommy-sense (it's kinda like Spidey-sense) is pretty accurate.

Jamie informed me th other day that when he went to pick up Jack that Jack was sucking on a paci! Now, for those of you who are new readers, an FYI--we left our paci days behind us
LAST JANUARY! We thought it so easy to get him off that baby-crack. According to one teacher he talked to, Jack "loves" pacis, so eventually they let him walk around with it. First of all, he's supposed to be off of it, and second of all we never sent a paci to school with him, so the germy object was obviously someone else's.

The next day I talked specifically to two of his teachers about not giving him pacis and that I was surprised that they would let him have one, since it's such a controversial habit that should be up to a parent. One teacher replied that Jack steals the pacis from other kids...takes them right away. Well, I just couldn't believe that. He doesn't EVER use on at home.

When leaving Jack's classroom the other morning, I turned to give him one last look....lo and behold, he had a paci in his mouth. My back was turned for about 10 seconds!! Furthermore I hadn't seen any of the kids there with a paci. Ugh....according to the teacher, this one must have been lying on the floor from the day before. Gross! Day-old germs! I asked them to more vigilant...we'll see what happens.
