"Gee"

Owyn calls his pacifier his "gee". This comes from Binky. Owyn loves his gee. He would have it in every minute of every day if we would let him. Up to now we have let him have it most of the time. If we ask for it, "give me your gee Owyn", and he hands it to us, great. If not, oh well. When he asks for it later, we will give it back.

Now that he is two we are beginning to ween him off of it. This is not all that fun, of course. Now we do not let him have it during the day, only at nap time and bed time. He will play happily for several hours, then realize he wants it and go stand at the bar sqwaking. We keep his gees on the bar.

When we tell him "No, no gee". He throws a fit. He has quite the little temper. When we laugh at his temper tantrum that just pisses him off more. When we count him for it, that really gets his goat. So far we have held strong, no gee's during the day.

Speaking of his temper, he has any number of unhappy faces. His pouty face, his angry face, his "if looks could kill" face. They are all quite funny, to us at least. They do not get him the result he hopes for, but it is no end of entertaining watching him try.

He is a, mostly, sunny little boy, but that temper is fierce.
