No more binky

Emerson turned 2 on September 16th so we decided it was time to rid ourselves of the binky for good. We had his 2 year check-up on the 23rd and his doctor gave us some good advice on how to take it away to never been seen or heard from again. All in all, she said that whatever works, do it. I guess some parents even tell their kids the dogs ate it! I wasn't about to do that. He had already been restricted to only using it for sleeping and maybe when he's nervous or tired and never at preschool. We just told him that big boys don't use binkys anymore and took it away... cold turkey a week ago today. He has done remarkably well and we are very proud of him. Its amazing that without the plug he actually speaks!
