Bye, Bye Binky!!!!



Well, we finally did it!!! We buckled down and coaxed Jessie to put her binkies into a "Princess Bear". She has done great!! We have been dreading this process for months. For those of you who did not know, Jessie was GREATLY attached to all of her binkies. To the point, where she would have a binky in her mouth and then place her hand over her mouth so we could not take it away. She would even try to hide herself in the couch cushions thinking we would not see her with them. It was really quite funny. This was a sad day, but she handled it beautifully. Thanks to the folks at "Build a Bear" they helped us treat Jessie like this was her big day of "Becoming a Big Girl". She has only asked for them a couple of times and thus far has been easily distracted. This is has been such a miracle. PTL!!! No more binkies for us (Josh has never been a fan).

Thank goodness for Build-A-Bear when it comes to getting rid of pacis! We have two bears who lovingly care for K&A's paci's snug in their bellies. Worked like a charm both times! :) EB never took a paci, but she went and made the same pink bear this weekend and is quite attached to her!

Miss you guys! And a great big hug for the big girl!
