Ryan decided on December 5th that he was all done with his binky’s!! We have talked about getting rid of his binky’s for awhile now, but I was somewhat afraid to push it because he loved them and was such a good sleeper with them. Honestly, I didn’t want to mess with that, but alas it was time. He is 3 1/2 now, and older than either Justin or Travis when they got rid of theirs. A recent trip to the dentist also helped plant the seed in his head. So I guess he decided it was time.
He came to me right before bed and told me that he wanted to throw them in the garbage. He caught me a little off guard and I wasn’t sure I was ready yet, so I asked him if he was sure over and over making it clear that this was a permanent choice. In the end he stuck with his decision. I was far more worried about it than he was!! We took our few pictures and it was off to the garbage. He was proud of his decision and so was I!

His very loved binky’s! The one in the front was his clear favorite!
In the garbage!
The first two nights were a little rough for him while trying to go to sleep, but once asleep he did fine without them. We are now officially a house without a baby and now the last of our “baby gear” is gone…it is bitter sweet.
