Good bye Binky....

I totally forget to write down the story of kiptin FINALLY loosing the bink....a MUST NOT FORGET!!!
Don't you hate when you go into the doc office and they sit down and do all there check up on your kids and then after thats all done they come at with all the things you need to be doing??? well i took kiptin into his 2 year chk up and of course he had his Binky with him and he was sad from shots and finger pokes so he wanted his bink, so i gave it to him and his doc says how often does he have that and i said really only when he goes to bed or when we are in the car, i dont let him just walk around with it all day but if he finds one he will stick it in his mouth. He said have you tried to get rid of it yet?....DUH YES are you kidding i have tried and tried but in the middle of the night a mom just needs her sleep! so i wasnt trying really really had but one by one the binky's would get lost or i would chuck one in the trash cause it had a little hole or something so we only had 1 or 2 in the house at that point anyways.
well that same night he and kaylin went out side on our deck and it was almost all the way dark outside still a tiny bit of light but not much, I herd kiptin say that he was going to throw the bink over the rail and i yelled from the kitchen that if you throw it we can not get it til morning cause its too dark outside to see where it is to find it....moments later kaylin said well kiptin throw it over mom, its gone.
so i looked at kiptin and told him that i had said if he throw it over i wouldnt be able to get it til morning and he would have to go to bed without it. he looked at me and you could tell he was sad but understood that he would have to wait until it was light out to go find it, and he actually went to bed better then i thought he would, i just figured there would be a huge melt down and i would give in and have to go out and find it, well he shed a few tears but that was it.
Morning came and i had kaylin run out and grab the bink before kiptin woke up and i hid it on the top of the fridge where he couldnt see it. I told kaylin not to tell him he got and that i was really wanting him to just not have it anymore so we came up with a "story" ( i know i know bad mom!). First thing he did when he woke up was run out on the deck and look down for his bink and it was gone, he kept saying "where go mum" and i went out and looked with him, we herd all the birds chirping and i said maybe a mommy bird picked it up and gave it to one of her crying babies. I told him to listen to all those crying babies and that one of them is so happy now and he smiled and thought it was pretty cool but soon reality set in to him and he wanted his bink back so bad, he kept asking for it and searching for it over and over again outside and we just kept saying a baby bird has it now.
he gave in and knew it wasnt coming back. months have gone by now and it has been so easy on him and us THANK HEAVENS!!
Now he See's a bink and he will either suck on it until we see him and then he gives it to us right away or just comes and hands it to us..so we have been binky free for about 4 months now!
Now if we can just get rid of the bed time bottle we would be free and clear....he loves his warm milk before he goes to bed...so that one is going to be tricky, iam still trying to come up with a way to say good bye to that one!
