Tessa was another story though, she KNEW they came from the store. She wailed for days on end "go to Target, buy me new binkies mommie!!!" Until recently Target was still touch and go. If we came with in 1000 ft of teh binky isle she'd start wailing "I need new binkies!!!!" Gah, you just have to really steelie yourself and never give in.

It was hard for the first week but then she kind of forgot all about it. For some reason, Baby Bug has never shown any interest in them. Thank goodness! We went cold turkey with Girlie Girl.

It went relatively well. She hasn't had a passy since. We told her (since she seems to have such a tender and giving heart) that she gave her passies up so the teeny tiny babies could have them. It's been just about 2 months and she still asks for passy when she gets really tired, but we remind her about the teeny tiny babies and how she's a big girl now and she does ok. :) We did cold turkey, the same night her doctor (at her 2 year checkup said to get rid of it).

Iain never wanted a pacifier once he figured out nothing came out of it, but Jamie adores his. We try to take it away, and he gets this panicked look and goes into hysterics at bed time. And I"m such a wimp, I can't stand to watch him cry. I’m in the process of trying to rid Jamie of his pacifier.

You can even let your little ones pick out some fancy ones if you would like to "send off to the binky fairy". Tie the binkies to the balloons. Go outside AWAY FROM TREES AND POWER LINES. Maybe do this at an open park or something. Tell the little one that the binky fairy called and said that there are some new babies that were just born that needs some binkies. And that we had to send our binkies to the fairy by way of balloons [fairies live in the clouds that is balloons are how fairies get mail, ha ha] because the fairy said that he/she is a big boy/girl now that he/she didn't need them anymore and that other babies are in need. Let the little one let go of the balloons into the air. Waving goodbye! There are sure to be some tears but just reassure them that they are going to a better place to help out the new babies.

My kids had them...now I take that back...not all of them but it was so hard to get rid of them. One of my granddaughters had a hard time getting rid of hers...finally they did kind of like you did...it just broke and they made a big deal of throwing it away. I think after awhile they get to looking so nasty in a sweet babies mouth. I love to see a babies mouth and that sweet smile!! Great tips for mothers....thanks for sharing...
