COLD TURKEY!

After one last all out tantrum because we couldn't find the "purple B", they are GONE!

I had HAD it! Yes, I know that the binky is like crack cocaine to this kid, but he's now in REHAB!

So here's my strategy. First, neither Dad or Mom are going to mention the "B" anymore. If he happens to find one that had previously been lost. (Believe me, there are quite a few around here!) We'll just wait until he puts it down and then "lose" it permanently.

Second, when he asks for one, we'll suggest he find a book to read or his favorite toy. Distract him with something else, right?

He did have his nap today without one - the babysitter put him down with a stuffed "Bob the Builder" and though he whimpered a little, he did fall asleep.

WHEN he makes it to Friday...he can have a Tricycle!

Wish us luck! :)

PS - as of just a few days ago, Megan doesn't want anything to do with her binkies, so this is the PERFECT time!
