Bye Bye Binky!

So... Cooper has been SLEEPING ONLY with his binky since he was 1 1/2. We were going to take it away before Olivia came but the doctor said to wait until he was three. And so we did... thank goodness because the poor little guy was already dealing with a lot of change. One day about a month or so ago Josh came home from work and we decided to plant the seed that pretty soon we were going to have to throw all his binkies away. That's where we left it, thinking we would give him some time to take it all in. About an hour later Cooper took Josh his binky and said he wanted to throw it away in the outside trash cans so the trash man would take it away. Of course we jumped at the opportunity, gathered all the binkies and Cooper took them to the outside trashcans and threw them away himself. I was all prepared for the worst but it has been a breeze. He asked for it once or twice and we reminded him that HE threw them away. And he was ok with that! Thank goodness!!!!!
