Binky Free?

Jocelyn has been using a binky since birth. For the better part of the last 20 months, she has only been allowed the binky in her bed, and she has been okay with that, but she really loves her binky while falling asleep.

Right before Reagan was born, Jocelyn's binky became cracked and was no longer safe for her to use. Todd and I had decided that that binky was her last one, and once it was gone, that was it. No more binkies for Jocelyn. Well, since it was so close to a life-changing event for her we decided to buy just one more.

She had ONE binky in the house. Yesterday morning she woke up and binky was missing. We looked for it, but were not successful. Nap time came, we looked again, but were once again not successful. Jocelyn took her nap without the binky! Bed time came and we still couldn't find the binky. She went to sleep and slept all night, just like normal, without the binky.

Seriously? It was that easy? I have worried about taking that binky away for months and months. I have had nightmares about Jocelyn not going to sleep and waking at terribly early hours. I searched the internet for the various techniques for becoming binky free, trying to decide which one would work best for Jocelyn, and she somehow loses it during the night and is about 95% okay with the fact that she won't ever see or use it ever again? Really? I guess I should have taken that thing away from her a long time ago!

Now, I'm going to have to find that little sucker before Jocelyn does...I really would like for it to stay lost!!!!June 16, 2008
