We have some exciting news in our house! No, it's not what you think...and it's probably not nearly as exciting to most of you as it is to us...haha. But if you have ever dealt with the situation, you will find it exciting too!
We are officially 1-WEEK BINKY FREE!! They are completely gone from our house and never to return to Brayden's mouth (or hands, or forehead.) He was driving me completely crazy with them. Between him chanting Binky, Binky, Binky constantly; having to have no less than 3 with him at all times, and being woken up repeatedly at night by him screaming binky while having to search under my pillow, thru the covers, etc. to find at least 2 for him (yes, he sleeps in our bed most nights, another story, another challenge.) I was way past done dealing with the binky situation.
So last Sunday morning, we woke up and left the binkys in bed. When he started asking for them (about 10 minutes after breakfast) we just told him they were all gone. He knows what all gone means, so he dropped it for awhile. Surprisingly, he hardly mentioned it again all day! He went down for his nap easily and again at bedtime. He seems to only ask the most when we get in the car, and even that has stopped. So we have made it a whole week and are so excited to finally be done with them!

awe yay!!! :)
Yay! What a big accomplishment!
I can totally understand this accomplishment. My child, does not and never has had a binky but the bottle I CAN'T get rid of no matter how hard I try. It's a total comfort thing. Kudos to you! And she still sleeps in our bed most nights :)
Congrats! Hope things are still going well without them!
Brayden really loved his binks - he looked so sad when he asked for them & she told him he could not have them. He really is doing good with out them! I'm proud of him that he made it & of Chris for staying firm! - Yea! love grandma(Roberta)
WOW, so jealous! We are getting better during the day but nap and bed do not happen without a binky! Great job Brayden!
