Bye Bye Binkies

She finally did it!!! We have been telling Kate for about a couple of weeks that is going to throw her binkies away because she is a big girl, and she never seemed to mind. But I thought for sure she wouldn't end up wanting to do it. Boy was I wrong. That morning we told her that today was the day she walked right over to the garbage and said "bye bye Binkies" and tossed them in. We were both shocked. I think she has only asked for them once before remembering that she already got rid of them. She has had trouble sleeping but other than that she has been so nice and pleasant. She seems like she has grown up really fast since then. I think I was more sad to get rid of the binkies then she was, because she now officially a BIG GIRL!!!



Kate got to go to Build A Bear in trade of her binkies. She was in awe the whole time and couldn't believe that she was really getting to take one of these stuffed animals home. She just sat and stared at all of the animals and when it came time to choose she would say yes to everyone. After a long hard decision she finally chose a yellow dog that she named "Barney"(we tried giving her other choices but she didn't want them). Barney is a girl that has pink Pajamas like Kate and bunny slippers. Pretty cute!!

Even a couple days after she still like Barney. He sleeps next to her every night.

I noticed a big change in Ava too when I got rid of the binkies. She seemed like a big girl overnight. Good job Kate!
