So many of his early pictures feature a pacifier front and center. I knew that I wanted him done by 2. But, we were flying to FL right around that time, so I extended a little maybe. Knew it would make things easier on the plane. All of his binkys started getting really gross, so I think I just took them away cold turkey at night and naps. We had weaned him during the day. I have heard that some people cut a little bit off the end until they just won't take it again. My daughter never took one. There were lots and lots of time I wished she would have. BTW, thanks for stopping by the "Sit & Relax" hop last weekend. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back!! See you next weekend!

My first daughter had just turned 2 and then we suggested that she 'mail' them to her baby cousin. We made a big deal of decorating the envelope and daddy pretended to mail them. She never looked back. My second daughter gave hers up all by herself shortly after her first birthday. My son is only 8 months so he still has his but I am starting to limit it to nap and bedtime. Hopefully he is as easy!
