Has this happened to you? You baby is down to one paci, despite the fact that you KNOW there are 20 pacifiers in your child's room. You make a trip to the one store in town that carries your child's favorite kind.
When you arrive home, the other 19 pacis magically appear during the next 24 hours. We're talking pacis in every room, on every surface, and under every bed. Where were the darn things the day before when you were leading a panicked pacifier search party?
I'm convinced that Nuk employs pacifier elves that live in my house. They hide pacis so we have to buy more, and then unearth them as soon as the new ones cross the threshold. There is no other explanation for the 6 old pacis that I found yesterday after I bought 4 new ones last week.
True story: We put Chloe down for a nap in the pack-n-play while on a trip when she was a year old. The pack-n-play was empty when we put her down for the nap (Chloe was not a paci baby).
ReplyDeleteWhen she woke up, she was holding a MAM pacifier. It looked brand new. MAM was what Rachel used (Chloe, when she rarely took one, used Soothies).
We were at my in-laws' house. 1200 miles away from where Rachel was when she used pacis. No other babies live there. And Chloe had used the pack-n-play many, many times prior to that.
I still can't explain it.
Wow- spontaneous-paci-generation. Maybe that's an even better theory!
