Ben has always been a pacifier kid and when he started talking, he started referring to his pacifier as his "bebe" (pronounced BEE BEE). We have never been hyper parents around his bebe as we both know he'll eventually grow out of it and we just haven't been that concerned about it. In our opinion, there are bigger hills to cross on a day-to-day basis around shaping behavior and if this gives him some comfort, then so be it. He doesn't have it during the day, just for sleeping and in the car has been the baseline rule.
Lately, things have been changing in bebe land... We keep a few around in the kitchen drawer in case we lose one and Ben now knows right where they are and can open the drawer and get them out on his own. Not good. When he discovered the hiding place, he quickly learned that 2 bebe's is more fun than one! Um, I think we're going in the wrong direction here! The bebe's have been moved and he no longer can grab them on his own and do the "double bebe", as we call it.
