Megan and I decided at the beginning of last week that today was the day she would throw away her binkies. I have wanted to do it for weeks, but knew she wasn’t quite ready. So this morning she woke me up racking a back scratcher across my face. Not the best of wake ups but I love to she her cute little face saying, “Mommy wake up!” I gave her a big smile and said, “Are you ready to throw your binkies today?” She said “yes” with a joyful voice and ran out to find them. We all helped her search, but was only able to come up with 3. I know this sounds bad, but I know there are at least 3 more roaming around…hopefully they will stay hidden. As we were searching she popped one in her mouth and you could see her will was crumbling. It broke my heart to think she won’t have it anymore, but we’re doing it on her terms not mine so I don’t feel like a mean mom. When I realized this was all we were going to find we headed out to garbage can outside because it gets pick up tomorrow. She sat in Adam’s arms over the trash and just looked over at me and said, “Mommy, I can’t do it.” It broke my heart to see her struggle and I wanted to say ok lets go in and put them all away, but I held strong. I decided to give her a choice she could put it in the garbage we could put it in a box and take them away. She choose the box. She was actually pretty excited about that alternative. Then we went inside and continued with our morning.

She told everyone at church that would listen that she “put her binkies in a box and threw them away”. They all praised her and said what a big girl she was. She seemed to be so excited about the attention. She went down for her nap fine although she didn’t sleep as long as she usually does. I have no idea if that has something do with the time change or not. Sunday’s are sort of weird for naps anyway. We went to my parents for dinner tonight and she was so excited to tell her grandparents and Chris and Amy. She is really proud of herself. So this evening as I was walking out of her room after getting everything situated with all her stuff she sleeps with she called me back in her room and said, “my binky.” I reminder where her binkies were and she said “Ok.”
I get teary just thinking about it. She’s my baby and I’m not sure I’m ready to see her all grown up. She made a huge step today. My stubborn little girl gave away one of the things she loves most. I’m very proud of her for having the courage to do it.
I can’t believe she gave them up. How sad. She’s not a baby anymore.
Such a sweet entry. I’m glad it wasn’t too horrible. It is so hard to see these little girls grow up. It is too cute that she is proud of herself.
It makes me a little sad to think of her giving up her binkies, 1. because she loves them so, and 2. because she’s really loud. Oh dear.
I cant wait to see her. I can’t even imagine her saying “mommy, I can’t do it” that sounds so old. It sounds like you went about the process in the best way possible, when she was ready. Good for you. I can’t stand it when I see those kids who are like 5 at the mall and they are talking in full sentences while holding the binky between their teeth. Hello, parent, time to get rid of it. Ashley takes a binky and I know that I will be going through this same thing one day. Hey, it’s well worth it, if you ask me. I LOVE the fact that she takes a binky. Can’t wait to see Megan (and all of you).
This is so sweet Amy! So grown up- I love that she was so proud of herself. Too cute and heartbreaking all at the same time.
i just cant get over how cute meg. is and how excited she was that she threw away her binkies!!!!
Amy, how sad! What a brave little girl. This makes me especially sad because we’re going to take Kaitlin’s away soon (she only had one and she’s only allowed to have it when she sleeps)–as soon as potty training is firmly set in. I don’t want to do it. She loves her binkie so much. But it is the next step, and I’m really looking forward to her buck teeth going away.
