Always make sure you have at least 3 of those things at all times. One more than one occasion, Lexy dropped hers out in public somewhere, and we didn't notice until she started screaming about it later (after we'd left that particular area). The little clips that clip them on their clothes are helpful, but not infallible.

Yeah, we only had two (one of which is reserved for bedtime use without a cord), and forgot the other one once when we left in the car. We went back for it. And then we bought more, so now I'm making sure there's always spares in the diaper bag.

Barry's right. Audrey used to do that and Rochelle would call it The Gravity Game. 'Nope! We're not playing The Gravity Game!'

Akiva - with Lexy (and many of the other young'uns I've seen), the gravity game was more about throwing cups and/or toys on the floor. The pacifier was usually more "I'm temporarily done with this, so I'll spit it out"

Well, yeah, obviously, Jandy. :) But with the toys it was always "I'm going to throw this on the floor and watch it all the way down; then scream until Mommy or Daddy picks it up." It's a subtle difference, but, with Lexy at least, it was there.

Dear Little One: Mommy is not a 7-11. If you don't start tapering off, your parents will put a bell around your neck and make you graze outside. Believe me, I speak from experience on this. Regards, Me.
