Project Binkie Elimination is going ok. Not spectacular, but not horrible either. Flower has no problem taking a nap without her binkie, but nighttime is another story.
As you recall, we packed up the binkies and sent them to Cousin Halle last Thursday. Bedtime was not fun. Dear Husband and I each made multiple trips into Flower’s room to gently remind her we sent the binkies away. Eventually she gave up and went to sleep. For a few hours. Then Flower awoke about every 1 to 2 hours all night long. She was having a hard time going back to sleep without her binkie. But there was no crying or screaming, just a little fussing and another gentle reminder where the binkies went.
Friday and Saturday night were more of the same. Friday night wasn’t too bad actually, but Saturday night she was up a lot. Last night Flower only woke up three times so I’m calling it progress. When Flower woke up this morning I went into her room to get her. She looked at me and said “Binkie baby Halle!” with a big smile so maybe she is coming to terms with binkie-free living. We will see what happens tonight.
