I've been trying to get Calvin to take a pacifier since he was born. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but kids who take pacifiers are so much easier to...well, pacify. I've tried begging and pleading and even (shamefully) dipping it into sweet things like root beer. But then when we were at home and he saw his little cousin sucking on one, he decided maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. He still doesn't always take it, but it does calm him down a majority of the time and I think it's just heavenly!
