It's been 2 weeks since Cade has not used his Binky! I just all of the sudden told myself "that's it I'm done dealing with it". I'm so sick of making sure we ALWAYS have a Binky on board and sick of Cade loosing one and have to scatter to find one. With that being said I'm proud to say he has not had the Binky for 2 weeks now!
How did we do it?? Well Cade has always been good with change, like when we stopped the bottle...didn't phase him one bit. So we made a game out of it, I gave Cade a box and told him we need to find all of his Binky's and put them in the box, he was so excited to gather them all up ( little did he know they'd be gone forever haha) Then I got a bag and wrote "bye bye Binky's" on it and made him dump them all in there...Now this was the part that I was scared to do because I didn't know how he would react, we walked him outside and I told him to throw them away!!! I know mean right....he was so happy to throw them away, weird I know!
When nighttime came I knew he would ask for it..and he did. He said " mama where did Binky go" and I said "they went to the babies" Didn't even say the trash can part because I know he would just say there in the trash haha.. The first couple of days he would ask where the Binky's went and I just kept saying "the Binky's are with the baby's and your a bog boy and don't need them" He says "oh yeah Binky's for the babies"
So it's been 2 weeks and he could care less about them!!! GO MOM AND DAD!!!
