I've decided to get rid of Ellie's binky once and for all. I'm not waiting to switch her to a big girl bed like I had originally planned. (Even though that's happening this weekend.)
Tonight was her first day with no binky at nap time or bed time. She didn't end up taking a nap. Oh well. One day without a nap won't kill her; although, her crabbiness was definitely wearing on me by bedtime.
It has now been 30 minutes since I put her to bed. There has been quiet in her room for about 5 minutes. Good, but I'm not getting my hopes up for an entire night of peace just yet. I'm sure she will wake up in the middle of the night, realize the binky is gone, and cry some more.
I'll let you know in the morning who survives the night.

so i just noticed your baby countdown is at 100 days. it reminded me of scotty kunz's spanish class and he would start a countdown on the board when there were only 100 school days left. and sooner than you'd know it, the days were all gone. so you can start your own scotty kunz countdown if you want. oh, and good luck with the binky battle.
Yeah congrats! BE STRONG! You can do it believe me it is harder on you than it is on her she just whines louder! Good Luck!!!
Just an idea...something that might help you keep the "cold turkey" approach going strong...throw the binkies away so you won't be tempted to resort to them for just a little bit of "peace". Hope it goes well for you. Can't wait to see you in a month!!!
