This easy, really?

I have a love/hate relationship with the binky. I loved that it helped to calm Makenna down when she was little and help her to sleep but I hate that it is something that they can have such a hard time giving up. Even though I couldn't get rid of Makenna's binky until she was 2 1/2, I still wanted to give Jordyn one. I really think it's a good calming tool. Sometimes she took to it really well and others not so much. I thought that she probably wouldn't care for it as much as her sister did and I was right. I believe that we are done with the binky already. And I probably should just throw them all away to make sure I don't give one back to her! For the last month, Jordyn hasn't wanted it and goes to sleep well without it. It is soooo awesome. She has gotten to the point that all I have to do is go into her room, start singing her songs, and her head is on my shoulder. I finish, put her down and that is it!!! She would fuss for a couple of minutes at first but now she just goes right to sleep. I love this since my mom has to put her to sleep when I'm working and I would hate it if it was a pain of a process. I used to have to cuddle her, put the binky in and rock her just right to get her to sleep. Since that is now a thing of the past and all she used it for was sleep, we will be giving up the binky for good before she is even one!! Yay!!
What am I going to do for church though;)

Isn't it crazy how kids are sooo different? Aube is SO much easier than Bella was....no binky required! Gotta love it.

I think it has alot to do with experience. You are alot calmer with Jordyn and you are reaping the rewards. You learn with your first and the things that didn't quite work you change, and the rest you do the same. You're a great mom.

That is so great that she can go to sleep so well without the binky. I am such a binky mom, but also have a love/hate relationship with it. I need to take Katelyn's away soon, but I love that she naps and sleeps so well because of it.

Don't throw them all away until she's done teething. I thought I was done too, but I gave in. Teething is of the devil!
