BINKY FREE!

Here at the Jackman house, we have been trying to get rid of all the "baby" stuff. Mason has been doing pretty good at using a "big boy" cup and trying to use the potty! The big problem was getting rid of the Binky! He only gets the Binky at nap time and bed time, but lately he was waking up in the middle of the night screaming because he lost it! At that point, we knew it was time to get rid of it!

Ryan and I came up with a plan to put all the Bink's in a bag and have Santa come and take them away and leave presents. Mason wasn't too sure that he excited about that, but he went along with it!

About 1 week before Christmas, Mason woke up screaming for the last time. I was tired of it, so I came up with a new plan!

That night, I got a pair of scissors and cut the Bink tip off! When it was time for bed, I give it to Mason and this is how it went over!

M..."Fix it!"

Me..."I can't! Your big boy sharp teeth broke it!"

M..."Fix it!"
I took him into the bathroom and stood him on the counter, and showed him his "fangs" and told him that his big teeth broke a hole in his Bink!

He didn't believe it, so I went and cut one in half and the other completely off! I give them to him to use, but he didn't like them so he threw them away!

Since that night, he hasn't asked about his Bink's and he is so proud of himself! He tells everyone that his "shark" teeth broke his Bink's and he is now a big boy!

Mason's big "fang" teeth that broke his Bink's!
His top "fangs"!

Binky cut in half!

Bink cut partially so that Mason can't suck on it!

NOW WE JUST NEED TO WORK ON THE POTTY TRAINING!
