Kicking the Binky Habit

I am proud to report that I have one less binky sucker in the house.  GracieAnn is officially binky-free!

The very first night was rough, for her and me.  She cried, she yelled, she kicked, she screamed.  She acted like what I would suspect a heroine addict goes through when they are trying to detox.  It was bad.

The Friday afternoon nap was bad, as well.  She cried for close to an hour.  Friday night I put them to bed early for hockey on Saturday.  She cried for about 15 minutes Friday night.

For Saturday afternoon's nap, though, not a whimper.  Last night she spent the night with Jeff and Nene and they said she went straight to bed and didn't even mention it.

I have to admit, though, that I am a little sad that she is old enough to not need a binky.  One more step in the growing process is complete.

  3. YAYAY! Sam has never really been into binkies. Although I think that left thumb she's starting to gnaw on is going to get a lot of use.

  4. Good for Gracie and you! It is a mini milestone and sometimes those make me as sad as the big ones do. =)
