Bye-Bye Binkie

I am so happy! This past weekend Avery gave up the binkie. Well, she didn't really give it up, it took a little bribing from "the binkie fairy". For those of you who don't know who this "binkie fairy" is, she takes binkies away from pacifier loving little children and takes them to all the babies. In return the good little girl who shares her binkies gets a toy. I have been talking to Avery for the longest time about the "binkie fairy" explaning who she is and what she does. Avery was never ready for the "binkie fairy" to come. Last Thursday Avery left her binkie at the gym. I was not about to drive back there to get her binkie (this was our only binkie). So the "binkie fairy" was forced to come. Avery was not very happy about it. In the morning there was a snow white doll on our door step for her. She was so excited! It is now Monday and she has done great! She is still taking naps and going to bed great. As long as her snow white doll is there she is a happy girl!
