Well, we finally decided that Ryder was getting old enough to be done with the binky.
I was nervous and a little sad because it means he's growing up! but we set the day and did it before I could change my mind!
Last moments with the binky. ;)
He decorated the envelope for the Binky Fairy and put all of them inside.
Then we set them on the porch for the Binky Fairy to take away. I don't think he really 'got' that they would never come back!
We waited for a little bit and then checked on the porch to see what she left for him!
He is a Curious George enthusiast, so we figured he'd love to have a new snuggle buddy to sleep with. He also got the movie & a book to read before bed.
He was pretty excited:
We'll see how this goes!!
Update- 1 month later
Going to bed that night was pretty easy. He was so excited to bring George with him. He did keep asking for his binky but I explained that it was gone and he gets George instead since he is a big boy now. His little face was so sad...but he was strong and just squeezed George extra tight! He slept really great...until about 5:30. That's when he usually wakes up and I come sing him a song and give him his binky and he falls back asleep until 7ish. For a few weeks we had a rough adjustment of him waking up early and not going back to sleep. But a month later and he is doing great. For the first week he would get really sad and ask for his binky, but he was always so cute about it when I told him it was gone.
We are so proud of our Ryder-guy!!
