Today around 4:00, Campbell came downstairs and proclaimed "I don't have binkies anymore". This is something that has been bothering me for quite a while but she was determined not to give them up. We made Brandt give up his binky the day he turned three. We talked about it with Campbell, but she was not interested. Then Blake was born and she really still needed them. Out pediatrician wasn't concerned, so I tried not to be either.
Today after making sure that she could keep her bunny forever, she rounded up all the binkies and we put them away. She didn't ask for one all afternoon, so I was hopeful. As we got ready for bed, she started asking, just one more? I made her go to bed, tears and all, without one. Daddy went up and sat with her for about fifteen minutes and she is okay now. Hopefully this will only take another day or so and we will really be binky free!
She can keep her bunny forever. She loves it and it is a great source of self soothing and comfort.

Too funny! We are also on the all done with binkies list too! Sadie's school forgot about her's being in her backpack for nap time for a WHOLE week...we decided if she can do it at school then we can do it at home...it breaks my heart.
