R.I.P.

A loyal friend...always there when needed...a comforting soul.

But let's not mourn! Let's rejoice and celebrate the new life that comes with this loss!

Big Girl is officially a BIG GIRL!

Yes, readers, Binky has gone to a better place. The top shelf of the linen closet.

BG made a deal with her daddy the Friday before Christmas. We would all go see Santa if she would give up her binky for that night.

She only asked for it once that night, and only a handful of times since then. She hasn't even spoken that name for several days now.

And we are so thankful to finally be done with it.

No more mid-night Binky hunts.

No more making sure Binky is in-pocket before we leave home.

No more searching store after store for the right ones.

But...

No more naps.

No more instant sleep at night.

No more staying in bed all night.

I NEED SLEEP!! Uninterrupted, quiet, blissful, peaceful sleep.

I need a bedtime that doesn't involve crying and screaming. And BG gets pretty upset about it, also.

She's worse about sleeping now than Little Girl is!

*For the record, I tossed the sippy cups the other day, too. So we're free from diapers, Binky and sippys. She's growing up so fast!*
