Round Two of the Binky Fairy

Around Valentines day we decided that Weston and the Binky had to part ways. He was over 2.5 and was getting a bit old for the thing. I was really sad to part with it too. He really only had it during naps and at night, but it was time. Wade thought of the Binky Fairy when Brooklyn was this age and it worked like a charm. So we went round two with the idea.


We talked about the Binky Fairy for a few days to get him prepared. We told him the Binky Fairy would come collect his binkies and she would leave him a treat of his choice. He chose Buzz cup cakes. So that night we collected all the Binkies around the house then put them on the table for the fairy. Weston insisted that we put them in a bag "because the Binky fairy could hold them better as she took them to the new babies." Sweet boy.
He did so great! Went to bed fine, woke up excited about the cuzz cup cakes, and hasn't asked for them since. HUGE success. This kid is so easy with things like that. He is the best little boy.
On another note we got some disappointing JAG news yesterday. Looks like we won't be moving/starting JAG until late August as compared to May. I have to remind myself to get used to this kind of stuff because now we are military. So that completely screws up our summer plans, prolongs the process of moving on, prolongs the JAG paycheck, and it puts him done with all his training right before Christmas as apposed to September! We have a job and it is an unbelievable one, so I am grateful. I really am.

Yeah! I'm so glad the binky fairy worked so good! I have been wanting to do that with Jaxon but because we have a binky for Addison - I think he will try to take her's - but I will definately need to try! Sorry about your JAG news... but I'm happy you will be in Lubbock a little longer :)
