Fidel, alive and well in Chitown

We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Let's just say "pacifier skills" has never fallen into the "strengths" column for Eleni.

From day one, she's just never been able to keep those suckers in place. She loves chewing on them -- it's just that they're such slippery little devils.

So a month or two ago, she started chewing them off to the side of her mouth -- kind of like she's chomping on a cigar. It's actually been working pretty well for her.

Hence her latest nickname: "Fidel."

And the more recent verbization: "fidelling," as in "Eleni's fidelling the pacifier again."
