Binky go Bye-Bye- Day 1

We stared taking the pacifier away from Brian. Now that he has teeth, I'd like to get rid of the Binky. The goal is to have it gone by his first birthday. We decided to go cold turkey. The true test came when it was time for the first nap. After some crying and consoling he finally fell asleep without it. He did alight for the rest of the day until he got in trouble. He was playing with the doors on the TV stand, we've been telling him for weeks but it's not getting through to him. So dean picked him up fussed at him and put him somewhere else. Well that was NOT what Brian wanted! He had a major meltdown and cried for a good 45 minutes. I know he just wanted his bink. Eventually he calmed down when I showed him how ridiculous he looked in the mirror. He went to bed alright without his bink which was a big surprise for me! Until about 12:30 at nite after we had all gone to bed. I was so tired i didn't want to fight him back to sleep so we gave in and he got his bink. :( Oh well, we can't all be perfect. Maybe he can have his bink at nite? Oh well. We'll see how it goes today!
