please excuse this picture of my trash! but it has a funny story to go along with it! so i got a new job at church and it's working with the cub scouts which is great because before you know it i'm gonna have some of those so it's good practice. so i was gone on tuesday night for pack meeting and i come home and ethan tells me..."avery threw away her binky!" WHAT???as background...we have been talking about how binkies get old and get holes in them for weeks in preparation for me snipping the tip of her binky off. and she only has it when she sleeps. so then she'll bring it up periodically..."mom remember how binkies get old and get holes..." and then we'll have the conversation again. so she did that with kendall the night i was at scouts and took the binky out of her mouth and said, "look i don't have a binky anymore!" and kendall said, "do you want to get rid of it?" and she said, "YES!" so he put it on her dresser but then ethan came in and said, "avery do you want to throw your binky in the trash right now???" and she said..."YES!" and kendall said, "are you sure?" to which she again said, "yes!" so then he gives it to her and she holds it aloft and says, "let's march like a princess" and actually marches down the stairs with it held out in front of her and kendall and ethan trailing behind her!!! and she gets to the trash downstairs and says, "bye bye binky" and throws it in! crazy!
that night she was hard to get to sleep but not super bad and then the next day at nap we had to have a talk and that night she was better and only cried once and now...nothing. she's just fine. how crazy is that?
i told her to let me know when she wants to potty train herself:)

Did she wiggle her nose before it disappeared?? She has more self discipline than me! Go AVERY!I have heard girls are easier than boys in the potty trainin' dept. Although i have no experience to back it up. GOOD LUCK:)
That is soo funny! Two nights ago we took Madi's away too! She's been sleeping just fine without it. Who knew the magic age was 2 1/2 to get rid of night-time pacifiers!? Yeah, when is the magic age for self-potty training?
We got rid of ainsley's pretty easy too. . . she got hand foot mouth disease. The blisters in her mouth made too hard to use the binky. They magically disappeared since she couldn't use them. After the blisters healed, she never even asked for her binki back.
So maybe the blister part wasn't easy, but there wasn't any drama about throwing them away :)
I was having major problems with my son's binky use; well actually it was more along the lines of a binky addiction!! My friend absolutely raved about the cut method, and all of the psychology behind it. She found it on www.bye-bye-binky.com , which is great that it was also free. We went with it and OMGosh... worked so beautifully for my son with NO tantrums, not even one! Thank you God. Five days later he did not want anything to do with his binky. What a relief it was to all of us to finally be done with those darn binkies. Highly recommended! I am also interested in others experiences.... Bella
Avery is the funniest little girl I know! It's great she has you and Kendal has parents who understand her need for independence!
