Detox...It's what my precious little girl has been going through this week since taking away the good ole binky! It has been something haunting me for some time now and really there never is "the perfect time" She really loved that thing but man it would cause drama. It was unplanned but Monday was the BIG DAY! My sister in law had her for most of the day and when I was driving back to her house I realized that I had forgotten to leave one... Which wasn't that big of a deal because she doesn't give it to her anyway:) I just figured it was a good chance that she didn't take a nap which would have been ok too! She did end up taking a nap but when I arrived the dogs barked and woke her up she saw me and she was GROUCHY!!! She immediately wanted her "B" as she called it. I just kind of brushed it off and ignored it. We headed home and she was fine. She typically only had it for bed time, naps, or in the car. My original plan was to gather all the binkys go to the store and buy something she wanted with the binkys, so then when she wanted one I could say "but remember you bought "this" with them and they're all gone" Well I had already made it 12hrs and didn't want to back track! So that night I put her to bed and she asked for it I kind of ignored it told her I loved her and left the room. She yelled out for it a couple of times and that was it! I thought to myself "no way" but then I never heard from her again until about 1am and it was very brief. She woke up the next morning and wanted it but I stayed strong. I told her that the binky fairies had come and got them and took them to other babies that needed them. I took her to target because she was so brave prepared to buy her a princess tooter aka scooter.. but she picked lip gloss... perfect it was cheaper haha! Anyway everyday has gotten easier it is now Friday and although she still asks for it occasionally it is mostly when its nap time. It is hard to watch her because she wants it so bad but everyday has truly gotten easier THANK GOODNESS and it has been soooo nice not to deal with it anymore!!! Last night she didn't even whimper at bed time WHOO HOOOO! This whole thing is a little bitter sweet. Im closing the chapter of my baby still being a baby there really was nothing sweeter than watching her with that thing it really was precious. It is time however to say goodbye. I really am so happy to be able to go somewhere and not go on a man hunt for one. So now I consider our family officially binky free!!! It really has not been bad at all and I am soooo thankful!!!
