Goodbye Binky

Oh, the orneriness!

The binkie is officially gone! We had decided we were going to make Kade give it up when he turned 2. So he turned 2, and we were going to wean him off of it. We only allowed him to have it at nap time and bed time. That was going fine. So then we decided it was about time to get rid of it altogether. Well Kade had begun to bite the ends off of them, so we were down to 1 more binky left. Once they were gone we weren't buying anymore. But today Kade was supposed to be down for his nap, and he started crying and wouldn't stop. So Jake went in to check on him, and he was sitting in the floor of his room beside the vent and crying binky. He has learned how to take the vent covers off and dropped the binky down the opening. So we just told him binky was gone forever and we couldn't get it back. That answer worked for him, and now we are binky free!

I love things that take care of themselves like that! Maida refused to take a binky after three months, so, thank goodness I never had to deal with getting rid of the binky. I've heard it can be a hard thing to do!

Good for you! I took until 2 1/2 to take Ethan's, but Lara still had one until about 1 1/2 mos ago. I think it's harder on us than them! :)
