I am not sure if it is a happy day or a sad day in the DeVincent home. The binky fairy has visited our house and taken all of the binks to babies that need them.
I was expecting the WORST! I thought the kids would be miserable! Especially Kyle, he has that bink in his mouth all the time which is exactly what made me say "it's time for the binky to go". I know, I know the binkies should have gone by 9 months no later than 1 year....OK sooner than 9 months but we didn't do it. Sure we have our rhymes, reasons and excuses...and we did try once before but after a day of screaming gave in and said they are not ready. Which is why I expected the week to be pure hell.
Kyle and Hailey have both asked for a binky. However, once I explain the binky fairy came and took them away, they calm down and seem to get over it. Last night at bedtime they asked for it once and that was it! I was SHOCKED! The ONLY one looking for a binky today was Hailey; which was another shocker because she seemed way less attached to the binky.
I am proud of my tiny humans for being so strong and cooperative in this endeavor. I on the other hand am kind of sad. Looking at their little faces and not seeing the binky in their mouths means they are growing up, and I am not handling that very well. I like the binks, I think they are cute. I know all the arguments...their teeth, bad habits, etc. etc. I knew this day would have to come sooner or later. I know it should have been sooner, but I wish it could have happened just a little later.
Thank you Nuk Binky. You have been there for some happy times and some super tough times, and you always made it a little easier on all of us.
