bye bye binky!

We did it...finally. After many conversations and one failed attempt Brooklyn is finally binky free. I have spent the last 2 week preparing her (and me) for this day and i think she was finally ready. For the last few months Brooklyn has only used the blue binky and has since made Gigi use the pink one. Today i tied them together and told her to tell me when she heard the trash man.





















Then we heard him...so we grabbed them and ran for the door. At first the driver looked at me crazy probably questioning why we were chasing the truck. Then he stopped and realized what we were doing. He sweetly put out his hand and accepted the binkies from Brooklyn. Brooklyn was so brave and without a tear said goodbye to her dear friend.


























Right afterward i took her to target to pick out a new lovey to hold when she is sad. First we went down the baby blanket isle and she had to try out the snuggle quality of all the blue blankets. She finally settle on a blue Winnie the pooh blanket. Then we decided to at least look at the stuffed animals and their she spotted him, a medium sized soft fluffy blue elephant. I took him off the self and she gave him a big ole big and kiss. I asked her if she wanted to hold him when feels sad and with lots of excitement she replied "yeah"! So we put the blanket away and took home her elephant. Already this morning she has reminded me that her binky is gone and when we has been sad she asked for her "blue baby" instead of her "dee". I am happy to say we both survived.
