WE DID IT!!! We actually got rid of the binkys!! I dreaded the day we had to take away Sam's binkys but believe it or not it was pretty painless for all us us! We have been working on becoming a Big Boy - after conquering the big boy bed we decided it was time to get rid of the binkys - and we were getting tired of Uncle Mark constantly nagging us about taking Sam's binkys away:) So with G-ma Vickie's visit quickly approaching we decided that Sam probably needed to throw his binkys away in order for her to come....he must really love you G-ma Vickie because he took all his binkys to the trash can and threw them away!!! He thought nothing of it and went on playing then about an hour later he went to the trash can to get his binkys, but Daddy had taken the trash out and the binkys were gone...the look on Sam's face was so pitiful - he didn't cry or fuss he had the look of what the heck did I do:( Mommy went to bed with him that night and told him stories and he went right to sleep and didn't even fuss...the next day he maybe mentioned them two or three times...the next day maye once or twice and now he asks for them maybe once a day!! We went to the store and bought some new animals to sleep with instead of binkys so I think that has helped too! I truely believe had Eric or I taken them from him it would have been a whole different story but since he was the once that threw them away..he had to be okay with it! So now the only thing left on the big boy list is potty training!!
