As I was putting Mary to bed last night and laid down beside her in her bed, my hand instinctively reached under her pillow... and not to my surprise, I found a pacifier. Abby's "ba" as she affectionately calls it. Mary used to be a hard-core paci sucker. She would have one in her mouth, and hold a 2nd one in her hand as she fell asleep. I just didn't realize that although we said "goodbye" to the one in the mouth, she still had a need to keep one nearby.
Of course she said she was saving it for Abby, in case she needed it...
Don't worry, Mary, your secret is safe with me.
