Who says someone can't take their pacifier to college with them?? Really, what's so wrong about that? If they sleep, and their momma's sleep - it's okay with me.
I am tired.
He is doing GREAT at night. Still having a rough time falling asleep without his beloved paci, but he is staying asleep and sleeping all night. The daytime nap is a completely different story. I am seeing a fighting spirit in my son that I have never seen before. He is fighting his nap like a mad man. This is my child who normally takes 2-3 hour naps every single day, like clockwork, now refusing a nap since I took his paci away...., banging on the wall, jumping in his bed, singing every song that he knows, talking incessantly without taking a breath, thinking of every reason for me to come upstairs, crying that he is scared, and singing some more songs. Somebody please tell me that this is normal and it will pass and we will get back into some sort of schedule. Even a 1 hour nap would be acceptable for me at this point. I need some time alone, and he needs a nap. The paci had to go away eventually so I still hang onto my belief that there is no time like the present. I would have been avoiding the inevitable had I kept waiting.
The days are long, soooooo LONG, but the years are so short. I am trying to hang onto that truth. But this week, I am tired.
He still loves his tractors though, so at least I didn't waste any money.

It will pass. I promise. Bradley went on a few week-long nap strikes, and eventually things settled down and went back to normal. I know these days with no naps are rough- I totally sympathize just needing a break, and knowing that he is tired and Needs the sleep, even if he doesn't Want to sleep. Hang in there- everything with kids is a phase. Just keep being consistent in your routine.
