Mom VS The Binky

I hope that Nicole doesn't mind me stealing this picture off her blog, but it's the perfect "Good Bye to The Binky" picture. You see, Lyndee had this thing glued in her mounth the entire time we were in California. It was SO embarressing! She's 2 1/2!! And there were orthodontists EVERYWHERE!! The day after we got back (Monday), Lyndee helped me cut the nipples off ALL the binkies in the house. There were only 4 big tantrums. On Wednesday, she went next door to play. I got a text from Gayla:
Gayla: She found a binky
Me: Oh NO!! Take it away!
Gayla: She's sucking pretty hard
Me: I'll be right there.
Gayla wasn't kidding! The thing would NOT come out of her mouth! Finally, she let me have it. It got cut up.
On Thursday, we were doing quite well. Bed - no binky. Car - no binky. Nap - no binky. So I thought to myself "Why not start potty training!?!!" (again).
Me: Lyndee, if you go potty in the toilet, we can go to the store to get a prize!
Lyndee: (very excited. eyes open wide. big smile) And get a new binky!!

No. No more binkys. We even had to take Jayson's away because she thought she could just have his!!!
