Charlotte is officially NOT a baby anymore...(sigh) As sad as that makes me I am SO HAPPY to have the binky or chupy, as we like to call it OUT OF OUR LIVES...for good! This small plastic contraption took over Char's life. Before we moved up north, it was down to a science. Charlotte could only have her chupy when she went to sleep, but that all changed when we moved. It became an obsession of hers and if she lost it...oh boy, you wouldn't want to be around...
Anyway, we felt she was ready and wanted to get rid of the thing before we move again. Two of our good friends recently had babies and we explained to Char that the "Binky Fairy" needed her binkies for the new babies. She was thrilled at the idea that the little babies would get her binkies...until she actually came and took them! My poor baby girl was so sad and yelling at the Binky Fairy to "bring my binkies back!" and " we aren't friends anymore!" and "how could you (binky fairy) be so mean!" She finally stopped crying and yelling after abut an hour and got about a 20 min nap...
It's been about a week, and we are still a binky-less house! She still gets sad at nap time and it has become some what of a challenge (compared to a daily 2 hour nap), but she's sleeping great at night.
