I Did It! I Finally Did It!

No more weird stares from people. No more guilty feelings. I finally got up the nerve to get rid of the binky.

It all started when Trevor called to tell me one of his teeth just fell apart in his mouth. This was a little unnerving and got me to thinking about the other teeth in our family. This brought back all the guilt that I normally just push aside about Logan still having a binky at night. I had heard somewhere that a binky can mess up a kid's teeth too. Yikes!

So long story short, we gathered up all the binkies, put them in a ziplock and headed off to the store.
 

I did just what Katie told me to do. I convinced Logan that he could have the scooter and helmet he had been wanting for a while if he just traded his binkies in to the cashier. So he did. We marched up to the check-out stand and Logan handed over his binkies and Wha-La. That was that.

I think this was harder for me than it was for him. This is the end of his having anything baby left in him. (holding back a sob) I still have Samantha!

  6. I didn't even know Logan had a binky!! We tried the whole toy exchange with Nora back in November........ extreme failure. I think she's more ready now but I think I'll have to come up with something new.. I'll probably do the "binky fairy" thing on her 3rd bday!!
