Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Two and a half weeks ago I decided to attempt the impossible...take away Brynn's binky. I thought she's almost 2, she doesn't need it for nap time or bedtime anymore right, WRONG!!! It's been the same for my other girls so I thought it would be no big deal.
At 1 they are then only given the binky at naps and bedtime, great, same for Brynn. Then around 2 it goes in the garbage and we are all better for it.
Well, I got a reality check. The first few days without were as expected. She cried for a long time, then eventually gave up and took her nap. Then by day 3 less crying and more sleep, yeah me I'm thinking, I so know what I'm doing. Then, by day 7 it's not getting better, and during the second week of no binky she maybe slept once!

So... the binky's back!!! Judge me if you want, but I know when I've been defeated, and this time I LOSE!!! She was SO excited to go to the store and get a new binky, and the little stinker obediently laid down for her nap rolled over and knocked out. She doesn't even care if she has it at bed time, but now I have my wonderful, easy napper back! This time she was definitely a winner winner chicken dinner!!
