Binky Bear (poodle)

Well...we have done it.
I am embarrassed to say that yes,
Bella has used a binky (only) when she sleeps
up until today...I did try to wean her last week
but she started to throw such a fit and not sleep
at all, we decided to try an idea that my friend, Krista used.
We took her to the mall tonight, ate fun food, rode the carousel
(the guy even let Aube ride for free, yay)
and then took her to Build-a-Bear.
She picked out her poodle...put the binky inside,
helped to stuff it, wished on the heart, then sewed it up!
Bella and Aube had a blast brushing the doggie,
then Bella picked out a cute ballerina outfit for it.
We just finished putting her to bed, and of course she asks
for her binky, but I figured it wouldn't be an easy road.
But it is something that has to be done...she can't suck
on that thing forever! I'm sure she will get the hang of it.
And I'm thinking that since Aubree doesn't show much
interest in the bink (yay) I'm just gonna cut it out now.
Why set us up for going throught this ordeal again?
I don't think I would change a thing, but...
We live, we learn...and will hopefully be binky free!
