Paci Love

This has happened one too many times, and we're screwed.  Zach was eating dinner tonight.  He actually ate his chicken and stars tonight (phew!).  He ate most of his fruit.  Things were going great.  I went to get him a cereal bar and he started to fuss.  Apparently he didn't want the cereal bar.  So, I defrosted a chocolate muffin top (who wouldn't want to eat a chocolate muffin top for dinner?), and he picked at it.  He was pointing towards the pantry, so I got the sense that he wanted something different.  You never know with this guy.  So, I got out the organic fish crackers and he ate a few.  He was still fussing and pointing towards the pantry, but I was done offering food options, so I started to clean him up.  As I was cleaning him off, he took his paci out of his mouth and started eating the crackers (huh?).  After he gets down from his highchair, he starts toward the pantry, and then I see it.  I see what he wanted.  There was another paci on the counter by the pantry and he wants it.  He often needs a paci in his mouth and one in his hand; preferably one in each hand.  When we try to wean him from this paci (and we should have done this a long time ago), we are totally screwed.  He's obsessed with his pacis!!!
