Bye bye Binky
These will hardly win any awards but this is a momentous occasion in our family. Madeleine finally gets rid of her binky's (pacifier). We said when she was two, we would take it away...didn't happen. When she was three, we said we'd take it away...didn't happen. We were too scared, this little girl can really scream! So we told her when she's 3 1/2 we'll take it away. Well, she turned 3 1/2 on June 1st. Daddy wasn't home so she didn't want to do it. So on June 2nd this brave little girl walked right up to the garbage can and spat her binky into it! The first pic is of her doing just that. The second pic is her looking to see what it landed on and thinking...hmmmm, I wonder if I can retrieve that?! She did this with about 4 of her binkys. To our immense surprise, she hardly mentioned it at all. Even when she was going to sleep, she only said once that she couldn't fall asleep without her binky. But then she did. We are in total shock. Why didn't we do this 1 1/2 years ago? Today Daddy took the garbage out. We noticed as he went down the stairs, that she was staring at it wistfully. Awwww.

Definately, this will be something that you will look back on and have a laugh and a relief!:)
Aww...poor thing! I'm sure she won't remember it in a few days...great job capturing such a fun memory.
I believe if we give kids a little space and a little room they do things on their schedule with a little encouragement from Mom and Dad (after all they can't use a calender and they haven't read all of the parenting books yet)
This is a good example of that.
Awww what a big girl! The "nukie fairy" came to our house when the boys 2 1/2 :)
