It was decided during out trip to the mountains that it was Kate's last day with her binky. She has only been getting it for naps and bedtime for some time now... It is definitely time... I just hate to let that part of her babyhood go... She's ready. She got to pose for a quick picture for Mom, hand her beloved binkys over to let me clip them and then she gave them to her Elmo and Grover. She has dearly loved her binkys... Every time it was time to snuggle for bedtime love she would ask for binky and blanky. Every morning when I would come in to get her, she would hand it over and say "Mommy! Pocket!"... I'm going to miss her sweet binky face.
She went to bed after snuggling with me on the couch, reading several books and rocking in her room (which is very normal). She did cry for a while... which hurt to hear. Luckily she does adore her blanket, as all of our kids did, and it gave her comfort enough to get to sleep. She woke up at 12:40am - the first time in months I had to get up in the night with her. After calming her down and rocking for about 15 minutes we talked about how 'binky' was all gone and she would have to snuggle with her blanky. She said ok and laid back down fairly easily... Love her so much.
