No more Binky!

I think it's safe to say we've broken this habit! I said I was going to take her Binky away the day after her 2nd birthday--John said, "Hon, whatever you want to do. You're the one whose going to have to deal with the fallout." I went back and forth leading up to the date on whether I was actually going to do it or not, but I woke up on Monday and decided to do it. I can honestly say I was expecting 3 days of sheer terror, especially in the car and at nap/bedtime, but she has totally surprised me. Instead of being an awful experience, dear I say it's been easy and enjoyable?! She's hardly put up any fight. Yes, she occasionally asks for it still--"Blue Binky."--but I quickly divert her attention to something else and she instantly forgets. A new toy is coming her way for being so awesome! And *hopefully* by the time she sees Johnny with one, she'll forget she ever had one!
