Bye Bye Binkie....

I did the impossible thing I thought was going to be so hard to do. I finally took away Taelor's binkie! For a while now she has only been using it for nap time (or when really fussy). We were down to only one binkie left, and I told her if she looses it then that is the last one. Well last Monday night I went to look in her bag for it and it wasn't there, so I told her it was lost. She kept saying "mommy, I need my binkie". I really did feel so bad, but I knew it was time for it to go. It took a few nights of her crying for a little while but by Wednesday she was fine and hasn't asked me for it since. It has been easier than I thought! Of course she was bribed with just about everything for the week and mommy bought her some nice "treats" to reward her for not using it. She says she is a big girl now and she doesn't need her binkie. I am so proud of her for not giving too much of a fuss. Now for her blankie, well that's another story, I don't think I will ever be able to get rid of that one, I will just have to keep buying new ones to keep it looking like new.
