We have officially said good bye to the beloved Binky. Well actually we did it a couple months ago, but, I'm not very good a keeping you all updated on the happenings around here so...two months ago we officially said good bye to the Binky. It was a sad sad day. I was really dreading taking it away it made her so happy , and things so easy for me, and Mia's doctor told me at her 15mo. appointment that by 18 months I should take it away. Well I had every intention of letting her have it until she was 2, but then I got pregnant and when the baby is born she will be 2 and 2 mo. so, I decided so that it didn't seem like I was taking her Binky away from her to give it to the baby, I would take it way sooner not at 18 months but 19/20 , so that is what I did. I got the Idea to cut the tip of it off so that she would decide she didn't like it anymore from my cousin. (Thanks Lins) It worked like a charm...sort of... She put it in her mouth and immediately took it out and started spitting, then handed it to me and very sadly said bee bee (which is how she says Binky) and that was it, she never wanted it again. Putting her to bed used to be so easy, no crying nothing, just give her her Binky and all was well. I got to a point where I would only give it to her at nap and bed times, so I think sometimes she was more than happy to get into her bed, just so she could have her Binky. But now even still she cries and cries, or sometimes screams when we put her in bed, usually just for a minute or less, but sometimes it will be for what seems like forever (like 5 or even 10 min.) So bed times are still a little rough, but even if we are at someone else's house and she finds a Binky, she won't put it in her mouth, she'll come bring it to me and say bee bee.
