update on Becky's binky (or lack of)

Just wanted to post that Becky has done pretty well without her binky. It really took about 3 weeks before she wasn't whining when she went to sleep at night. Becky and I were in Mt. Ayr last weekend and she cried a lot and had a hard time going to sleep, but then slept through the night. She has not cried the past three nights when laying down to go to sleep. She is also not waking up in the middle of the night looking for her binky. As hard as it was for Al and I to put up with her temper tantrums, it is very nice for her to not be so dependent on that filthy thing! She still walks over to her crib sometimes like she is going to grab something, but she no longer asks for her binky. She actually quit asking for it after about three days. She just acted like she wanted it or needed something else for a while. If only us adults could adapt to change so well and be so resilient!
