Riding in Cars with Boys 3

Today my little Elijah earned a treat for using the potty.  We had some ring pops in the stash from a birthday party we attended a few weeks ago (thanks Monica), so I gave each boy a ring pop.  Elijah sucked on it for a few minutes then said with a very sad voice "It's not working, not working."  That's what he used to say when he would chew up his paci's and he would no longer get a good suck out of them.  I tried to explain to him that a sucker is just for licking, and it's not a paci: however every 2 minutes or so he pulls it out of his mouth, holds it up and says "My paci not working mommy."
