Closing Ceremony

The time has come. Sadie is rounding 2 years old and has still be using her "Binky". It has been a very dear friend to her. We thought they would part ways when she turned one but she clearly wasn't ready. We gave it a good shot when she turned 18 months but that didn't go well at all. Seth and I decided when we got back from Florida we would get rid of binky forever.

Last night we had the closing ceremony. We got her binky and had her hold it while Seth cut the tip off. Then we had her walk it to the garbage and toss it. We explained to her that she was a big girl and didnt need it anymore. She was very willing to throw it away however she spent some time by the garbage making sure it was broken and truly saying good bye.

Last night was a little rough but she napped well today and we are hoping for a wonderful night.

Bye Binky

That is such a good way to do it. Let them say good bye and then you can remind her where it went. How creative.
