After MONTHS of trying different things to get Jenna to give up her beloved binkys, today we made some MAJOR progress! Binkys have been a nap or night time thing for about 2 months, but lately I have really regressed. It became such a "special" thing that at moments when I really needed her to sit still or be good--I would let her have her binky. She would just sit there so quite and suck her binky and savor every moment...AHHHH....SILENCE! But, today on our jog I didn't bring it along and we had a great chat about the sad little babies who didn't have binkys. I told her how we could give the binkys to the Binky Fairy and she would take the binkys to all the sad babies and then the babies would be happy! I have tried this before (yes, the idea came from an episode of Super Nanny!), but today Jenna really took this to heart and wanted to help. I JUMPED on this and when we got home we put all the binkys in an envelope and sat out on the porch waiting for the mail man! It was so dang cute! Well, SHE DID IT!! I had to lay by her at nap time and bed time and there were quite a few tears, but she did it! The Binky Fairy will come tonight--but here are the cute ones of today and a very cute video of her after she gave the binkys to the mailman!
Here is Jenna eyeing her binkys one last time--she wouldn't take her eyes off them!
Here is Jenna with her letter for the Binky Fairy
Here is Jenna waiting for the mailman (she LIVES in dress ups, from the moment she wakes up until the moment she is forced into pj's at bedtime!)
And the big moment! Bye, bye binkys!!!
Here are some very cute videos. Check out Jenna at the 43 second mark--I think she went into a little potty break daze for a second and then got a chill when it was all over--HILARIOUS!! I hope you can play it!

The Binky Fairy came! After a long night where Jenna didn't give 2 cents about any sad babies...we made it to morning...well 6:00am anyway. She LOVES her new big girl dress up of her very own! We will see if nap time and night time are a little better today!

Hmmm. My little Liam is a huge binky addict. It breaks my heart to think of making him go cold turkey, so I've done nothing so far. Maybe I'll try this one. Go, Jenna. That was brave of her!
LOL, that was totally adorable. Two year olds are a riot.
