Soother policy?

[kindertime]

I don't care about soothers, one way or the other. If they have them, they have to stay in the mouth, but other than that, makes no difference to me. The last one to have one, I taught her to put it on the kitchen counter when she didn't want it and she could get it when she did. No problem.

I had a thrower many years ago. It was a year with 4 kids in playpens for nap. So he'd throw it across the room and it would land under another kid's bed. I finally wised up... I got a soother and sewed it into the strap of a clip that fastened really tightly to his shirt. He would throw but it wouldn't come off. When he was older, I would tell him this story and he thought that was the funniest thing!!!
