Weaning off "tutu"

Day 1:
(Tip of tutu was cut by abt 0.5cm)
When Sarah took it after it was cut, she remarked "wrong!" But she kept looking at it, putting it in her mouth, and removing it again witha puzzled look..

Day 2:
She kept using her finger to dig into the hole..

Day 3..6:
Still "wrong!" and fiddling with it

Day 7:
(Tutu was cut again)
The suckling motion and sound machiam not shiok liao.. Sarah'll nonchalently toss the pacifier around, occasionally putting it back for comfort..

Then it happened! Couple of days after that, Sarah fell slept without asking for her tutu! Now, abt 3 wks since then (took so long coz the parents didn't really push her hard enough to quit *opps*), Sarah falls asleep easily without the pacifier. The parents still keep the tutus by the bed, just in case of whiny emergencies. But the parents know that its really not needed anymore :)
