Yes we called it a plug. Or, pug. Anyway - Link gave up his on his own and Sassy did too. Once she switched to a bottle and realized she got stuff out of that and nothing out of the plug, she didn't want it anymore. I've given up my 'heroine' (seriously mourning my non-diet bevvv). Is there a Rt 44 Faerie? Will someone please tell my husband about her?StandsMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023620892139891864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-49021789189164277742010-01-07T13:57:41.058-07:002010-01-07T13:57:41.058-07:00The binki fairy came to our house a few months ago...The binki fairy came to our house a few months ago too!

So, so proud of you. It's sooooo hard to give up those baby things cuz it means she's not a baby anymore. I find that so sad. I asked CharChar yesterday if he would stay 5 and not get any bigger. He refused. ::sigh:: Luckily, I can just get another grand child. . . aka Becca's new addition. And then I still have Clara for a little bit longer. Don't be concerned--I still love them fiercely when they grow up. It's just that babies/toddlers are priceless.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627935068030133723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-75264864721194808022010-01-07T08:32:04.805-07:002010-01-07T08:32:04.805-07:00We tried the "when you're four" appr...We tried the "when you're four" approach, too. Didn't work. Although by then, she was strictly a bedtime binki kid (not by her choice, mind you...if I forgot to put it up where she couldn't reach it, she latched right back on). We talked about it for a couple of months before she turned four. And what happened??..she REFUSED to be four for about six months. "I'm NOT four, I'm JUST three!". <br /><br />My sister told me about the binki faerie, but we didn't warn Meggie. She would fall asleep and the binki would just fall out....so we confiscated it and left $20 with an note about how babies need binkies, but big girls don't, or some other such nonsense. We took the $20 and went to Toys R Us and she picked out a new doll. That night when I put her to bed she said "Mama, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to sleep!!" I told her just give it a shot...she was out in about five minutes.<br /><br />We LOVE the binki faerie. Although we spelled it "binky fairy", not being as cultured as some people. :0)ShelBaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547787982369914412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-17163392350518484632010-01-07T00:18:40.470-07:002010-01-07T00:18:40.470-07:00Aw, Jespy...you sucked your fingers til you were 8...Aw, Jespy...you sucked your fingers til you were 8? That's adorable! And explains some stuff. Another piece of the puzzle fit into place.<br /><br />Annalisa, if Beebs was given that choice she would have chosen crooked teeth cuz what does she care? Doesn't Sam know about braces anyway? And yeah, I think Beebee felt gyped after seeing it was only some Polly Pockets...thus the desire to trade back. Oh well suckah!!<br /><br />Paci is a fake word. And, thanks for reminding me.... about 5 days after TBF visited, BB found another binki down in the basement. She promptly brought it up to me and said she wanted to leave it out for TBF. The faerie had to come up with a Strawberry Shortcake that Santa was planning on putting in her stocking. Oh well... point is, she for sure knew what she was getting into then and still gave it up willingly.Elder Jack Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924286045304124585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-39683678359885021132010-01-06T22:25:30.034-07:002010-01-06T22:25:30.034-07:00^^Only probably<--hehe^^Only probably<--heheEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18327110010939707655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-29295326648405915802010-01-06T22:24:33.641-07:002010-01-06T22:24:33.641-07:00Only probably with the Pokemon faerie, is that he ...Only probably with the Pokemon faerie, is that he leaves behind Yugioh cards. Equally lame.<br /><br />I love binks (as we call it, no fake words in our family either). Cord was the master of binks, he did all these fancy tricks, twirling it around with his tongue at the speed of light, etc. And I loved it when he would dangle it from his lip like a cigarette when he talked to us. We took it away from him right before he turned four without any bells and whistles. Apparently, it was harder for us to give up than him.<br /><br />Also, I sucked my fingers until I was 8. To quit, I had to have eekareek sleep on my arm one night so I couldn't "use." I try to suck my fingers now and they do not fit the same. Major bummer.

It worked and she has been binki free since September 12, 2009. (so basically I won) I find with Wini that now that she no longer sucks her "morphine" (as we called it) she is a spazzy, wild, hyper girl where as before she was calm and mellow. I miss her binki. Sometimes Morgan and I will sneak into her room at night while she is sleeping and put a binki in her mouth just to watch her suck for a few minutes. She doesn't know we do that so please don't tell her.<br /><br />Congrats to Beebs!!!!eekareekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03492380736290744026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-53418389108631902192010-01-06T16:23:39.071-07:002010-01-06T16:23:39.071-07:00Well, lookie what the cat dragged in...Markie Mark...Well, lookie what the cat dragged in...Markie Mark!
