bye bye binky

Well, we did it. We said good bye to the binkies. On Tuesday June 19, we flipped Logan's world upside down and gathered his binks from around the house/car and took a trip to the trash can at the curb. I told him they were going bye-bye and we went back inside to play and wait for the 'trash truck.'

there they go!

He actually did really well. The first day was pretty bad - crying and asking for them over and over. But we just kept saying, "Remember the trash truck took your binks." And on day 2 he stopped asking for them altogether. 

But he's no dummy. Aunt Deanna, Shannon, and Troy came to babysit one night and I forgot to tell them that we took the binks away. So when Troy took Logan upstairs for bed, he found Keegan's binky and tried to give it to Logan. Logan said, "baby's binky" and so Troy found a different one and offered it to Logan. At this point, Logan could see Troy had no clue and took the opportunity for a few hours of having his binky back. Haha. And then he really decided to take advantage and requested things like a pillow, milk and then juice. None of which he gets at bed. I think we're going to be in trouble with this one - he's not even 2 yet!! When we came home, Logan still wasn't asleep and Josh went up and caught him sitting like a King with his illegal pillow, juice cup and binky. And we all had a good laugh! We definitely love our Logan Ryan!
