It's an unexpected start of saying good bye to the pacifier.
Somehow prior bedtime, grandma convinced cyrus to throw his pacifier into the bin and cyrus really did it without a thought. Come bedtime, he looked high and low for it, chanted for it and threw a tiny tantrum by lying on the floor, refusing to get changed. However, there were no tears involved. He soon went to sleep like his usual afternoon nap time without the pacifier.
Fast forward to 245am, he wokeup and started mumbling to himself that "I cannot find my paci. Paci paci, where are you? " at first it was a whisper and just a chant. Then his voice started getting louder and it became sort of an anguished cry for it. I kept quiet (daddy was out working night shift) for a while before I responded to him telling him "no paci!" Sternly.
And that was the first mistake made! Coz he realised that someone was around to Lauren to his wails. The wails grew louder. I go up, told him firmly there's no paci and reminded him that he had thrown it away. Hey... it worked for 5 seconds! He kept quiet, knowing very well that he was the one who threw the pacifier away. But he was very quick thinking. He asked for milk next. Lol.
He knew there was milk so he insisted on milk despite me telling him there's no hot water, blah blah blah. So I told him I would go and find some milk. Then he requested for "more milk" and not just some! Faint.
So here I am, out in the living room, "finding" milk. Looking at him through the baby monitor. He's not crying, just lying around waiting for me. But he's scratching himself crazy. I guess it's his usual way while he waits in the dark to fall asleep.
340am: he is still awake but looks like he's falling asleep. Shall just wait. .. 2 more hours before my alarm rings. Hope he falls asleep soon. :p
355am: all seems quiet. Shall make my way in. Hope he has fallen asleep!
