I have an announcement to make...

WE ARE...
...drum roll please...









Done with binkies in our house!!! That is right, we FINALLY did it. We took all the binkies put them in a bag and left them for the binky fairy.
And she brought us this. A Belle Barbie for Addison and a LittlePeople Airplane for Jace. I can say I am over-joyed to be done FOREVER with the whole binky thing. It was getting ridiculous the constant searching and searching the house 20 times a day. The desperation to find a binky or pay dearly. Addison has had a hard time adjusting. She doesn't ask for her binky, because she knows the fairy has it. She just throws ridiculous fits and the worst is at nap time and bedtime. She can't figure out how to go to sleep without it. The new nightly ritual is to keep getting out bed, going to time-out, and screaming her head off until she is too exhausted to do it anymore. Hopefully this too will pass. Jace has been a trooper and only asked for it a few times. Tuesday is 1 week binky-free. Now if we could just get Addison to potty-train....

Congratulations! Just stick with it! It will get better. What a great idea - "binky fairy"! I've never had a binky baby, but Jolie sure does LOVE her fingers. I don't know how I'm ever going to get her to stop sucking on them.
