Well while Nik was home this summer he decided it was time to get rid of the BINKI!! I didn't think she or I was ready, but he insisted!! =) He cut the tips off all the binkis right when she woke up. Things went very well until she needed a little comfort! She got one and put it in her mouth then pulled it out and looked at it.... (making a funny face) Then she dropped it and went to find a different one. Nik gathered them all up and handed her a new one. She did the same thing, put it in her mouth, pulled it out and looked at it and threw it on the floor!! We had 8 binkis for her so this was quite funny to watch! With each one she tried she became more frustrated and threw them harder and harder!! After we had gone through all 8 binkis we had to do it a couple more times before she was satisfied!! She really did very well!! It was just a couple of days of having to sleep with all of them to know they were all different!! It made her pretty mad and she wouldn't even put them in her mouth, but she had to have them still. If she only had one she thought it was just that one that was cut. We finally thought to tell her they were "broken" and that seemed to be the magic button!! After that when she wanted one we just had to say they were broken and then she didn't want it anymore!! Way to go Nik!! I guess we were all ready!!
*I do secretly miss having them at Church and the grocery store, but all in all a very good move!*

That is soooo funny. I remember going through this with Garrett the day after his 1st Birthday. He used to call it "one" and he used to cry "I want one". We did the same thing and cut the ends off. He was the only one who love the binkie. She is so stinking cute. I was just talking to Annette how big your kids are getting and how much we can't wait to see them.
You have added a lot of posts. I love them all. That is so funny about Miranda's binkies. I am glad she did so well. I miss you guys. Remind me again when your next visit will be.

Adorable! What a darling girl...miss you tons!
We did the same thing with Victoria. She had to have them by her too. Then we also told her they were broken. That is funny...it worked the same. Cute girls we have =)
Aw how cute! Aaron's mom did the same thing with him and he came to her and told her they were broken and asked her to fix them with tape (typical guy!). Then when the garbage man came to their house the next time he agreed to give them to him to go to binki heaven :)
