My Big Girl

I always say that I parent my kids based on their readiness to do something. Forcing something doesn't seem fun for either them or me. I thought that Reese's binky was going to be the exception to this rule, a 4 y.o. with a binky seems rediculous and annoying. Last night, completely unexpectedly and unknowningly she announced at the dinner table she was a big girl and was not going to suck on her binky! I about fell out of my chair. Daddy and I cheered her on and created as many rewards as we could in that moment. I am proud to say that last night and this morning, no binky was used. She even refused the binky when her brother handed her one... I remain optomistic that William will one day decide he doesn't want his binky either. Until then, one binky down and one to go. :)
