A couple of months ago we relegated JH's binkies just to his crib (we all know how well that works :). He has the HARDEST time giving them up in the morning. Since we don't want to give him reason to throw fits we decided it is time to say goodbye to the binkies. So, last night we took A's advice and cut the tip off of JH's binkies. All night we heard "binkies broken, binkies broken" over the monitor. Then today we decided to completely take them away. We told him this morning that we would go to the Mickey Mouse (disney) store and buy him something with the binkies. He was THRILLED with this CARS set and happily handed over the binkies and said bye,bye. The rest of the time in the car he kept saying bye, bye binkies. He went to bed without a tear tonight!!!!! He asked about the binkies and we reminded him. Of course, he went to bed an hour ago and I can hear him still playing with the cars.
This might almost be harder for me than for him. He is a big binky-less little boy now. My biggest fear is that he will find a binky in the couch come morning...
