Binkie Fairy


All of my kids LOVE binkies, but Kate took it to an even higher level. It was more like an appendage, a necessity, a part of her. So when she turned 3 on Monday I was dreading taking them away. But yesterday I told her no more binkies and we put them in an envelope for the binkie fairy. The binkie fairy brought her a fairy book and magnets which she was thrilled with. I waited for the meltdown that I knew would eventually come, but she just cried a little at nap time and hasn't even mentioned it since. WEIRD. Next conquest - the potty. :(

Wow! Great job to Kate and the "binkie fairy". (: I'll need to figure something like that to do with Jack.
