Each one seemed momentous and morally charged. Liza says through high school I checked her at night to make sure she was still breathing. You were a Simpson baby, Greg. I popped in a pacifier when nothing else worked, and you turned out OK.

and remember with the pacifiers that you can always limit them to nighttime if you’re worried about a slippery slope. i bet they’ll help a lot with the wake ups, they did with us.
