Drum roll please... Addison is BINKY FREE! I truly didn't think that we would be able to tackle this until she was in kindergarten. She was a binky lover. They were a huge comfort to her and she usually slept with multiple. For the past couple of months she would go sneak one whenever she got in trouble or "was having a hard day". Last week she even started stuffing them down her pants to hide them from view. It was a constant battle to get her to leave them in her bed. That is until she heard that her bff Will was taking his to the store to trade in for a toy. She told Dave and I that she wanted to do the same. I about fell over, but figured we should jump on the thought. We put all the binkys (which was about 7!) in a baggie and went to the toy store. Addison got to pick out her own toy all by herself. We had to keep steering her clear of the $50 giant dolls. She finally settled on a baby that came with a doctor kit. We went to the check out and she handed over her baggie and that was that! She went to bed just fine that evening. Nap times are still a little tricky, but in a week I think we'll be back to normal. I haven't even heard a , "Where's my binky?" when she's crying. Although this special baby doll does come with us just about everywhere! I am so proud of Addison! Next step...potty training...attempt #2!
