That'll be one pacifier, please...
When Dude was barely 2, he got strep throat and no longer wanted his pacifier. Simple. When Princess was almost two she bit a hole in hers and didn't want it any more. Easy. Then along came Honey Bunch. She had strep throat and still wanted hers. She's bitten holes in three of them and kept right on sucking until I bought new ones out of fear of bacteria. A couple of weeks ago we spent an hour searching for a missing binky and decided it was time to move on. We told Honey Bunch that she could buy anything she wanted at the store, but she had to pay for it with her binky. She was so excited and ran to get her beloved pacifier and raced to the car. We got to the store and she carefully studied every toy. She finally decided on a Dora chair. She happily gave her binky to the cashier (a super nice lady, by the way) and away we went with her new chair. She only cried herself to sleep (amongst shouts of her hating her new chair) for three nights. We are 2 1/2 weeks binky free! Hooray! We'll see what two more years brings with Megaman.

Honey Bunch looks so adorable in those pics.
Hooray for the new chair. I wonder what I can buy for a binkie.
Way to go, Mrs Doctor! Great thinking and that is a super cute chair - even if you can't suck on it to fall asleep.
We were thinking that you guys do some fun creative stuff with you kids. We thought that was an idea we'll have to store away for future use. Keep them coming! Honey bunch is totally cute - she looks so proud.
How cute and what a great idea. I wish we would have thought of somthing so creative with Heber's bottle.
just a little side note- Mercedes has become very into Dora lately and everytime I hear the map say, "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the MAPPP!" I think of Bryan and his seizure voice. It's brings a smile to my face everytime! And- Mercedes is really attatched to her bink too.
you guys are great parents! what a smart idea! and whoo hooo binkey free; you better hope you dont get a thumb sucker like i was, you cant get rid of a thumb (or lose it)
I think this is the best idea! That way the kids don't blame mommy and daddy for taking it away, but you can always say that it's at the store with the nice lady :) That's how we have gotten rid of two of our bottle baby's bottles :) I think it's the only way to go :)
