The bink is gone!


Corynne is no longer using her bink. I gave some thought to all of the many ideas that people gave to me to take the bink away--the binky fairy, cutting it apart, giving the binks to another baby, or even sending the binks through the mail to babies at hospitals. But in the end I opted for just telling Corynne she was done with her bink. I put her to bed Monday night and I told her that she is a big girl and that binks are for babies so she can't have hers anymore. She fussed a tiny bit, but then she went to sleep. She asked for it the next day for her nap and I just reminded her what I told her the night before and she went to sleep. And it hasn't been a problem at all. I am so thankful that the bink is gone and she is not having a fit over it!
