Farewell to the binky
March 27 2009 10:39 AM
A while ago, I was asked by Michael’s pediatrician if he used a binkie. I confirmed that he did and was told that I didn’t need to worry about taking it away until he was two and a half. “What a relief” I thought, because I certainly was not in any hurry to get rid of that tiny piece of silicon that brought me so much peace, quiet and full nights sleep most every night.
After a trip to the dentist this week, I was told to ditch the bink ASAP!
Not what I wanted to hear! I’ve hidden the two surviving binkies out of the hundreds that I am sure we’ve boughten , and basically gone cold turkey. We’re no longer sleeping through the night, and while I did errands yesterday, I rushed a screaming Mikey out of a few stores yesterday. I love ya, Michael. But let’s end the pacifier withdrawals really soon, okay?
