No more binky.

Kate has been our only binky baby. The other's all weaned themselves at four months. But Kate has been VERY attached to her binky, so I wasn't quite sure how to handle the weaning process with her.Over the weekend "binky" got lost. (Seriously, I have 6 and can't find even one.) So, I decided rather than tearing the house apart, or going to the store for a new one, I would just do away with "binky". Kate, believe it or not, is doing really well. She's asked a couple of times, "Where'd binky go?" And I just tell her binky is bye-bye. She'll say, "K" in the most pathetic little voice ever, but doesn't cry about it or anything.

I am definitely more upset about it than she is. I am not sure if it's because she is my baby and I want to keep her that way, or if it's because I had my "plug" long enough that I remember how much I loved it. At any rate, she's doing great and has even slept through the night twice now without it.

I decided that while I was strong enough to take it away, I might as well do away with the bottles too. She hasn't even asked for one. She was never as attached to those as she was binky. I think I am publishing this post because I'll be less tempted to give them back to her if everyone knows. Anyway, here's to staying strong and binky free. :)
