We finally took away the binky

In February I planned on taking away Colin's binky.  He got sick or something, and never did.  I got courage again in September.  After talking to my mom, she asked that we wait, because he would be spending a week at her house.  We didn't want him to not sleep for her.  After the cruise, it was on.  I had heard about tying the binky to a balloon and let it float into the sky.  I purchased the balloons, and tied it to one.  Well to heavy!  I thought it was because the long lasting helium had worn off.  I was taking Annelise to dance.  While we were waiting, we bought more balloons.  Same thing to heavy.  I guess it takes a lot of balloons to lift a binky.  I was mislead by the movie Up.  That was an entire house, and binkys weigh less that a pound.  We were sitting in Annelise dance parking lot I saw a dumpster, and we walked over and tossed it in.

he cried
and cried....
The whole way home!
Lucky for me he fell asleep in the car, and took a normal nap.  Night time went well too.  We just snuggled for a minute or so.  Then he took 2 days to be difficult, and we let him just cry to sleep.  He rocks at being without a binky now.
I am proud of him!

Oh my gosh! You are so brave. We keep takling about taking Sophie's away, but we can't commit to it. I think it is time for another try though.

Those crying pictures are so sad! Good job on being brave, though. Life is so much better without a binky, in my opinion.

Those crying pictures just break my heart. I am glad he is doing well without it. I can't believe how big he looks from when we last saw you guys. Your kids are adorable.
