We are officially Binky free at the Fonnesbeck house! We have been putting off taking it away because he was so attached to it and I wanted to make sure he understood what was going on so it wouldn't be so tragic. We took it away Easter Sunday when the Easter bunny brought Crew a New Friend: Moose. I started telling him the Friday before that his Binky was starting to break and when it did we would have to put it in the Garbage. So on Sunday after his nap before we went to our Family Easter dinner I cut the end off his Binky. I showed it to him and said, "look buddy it is broken." He looked it over tried sucking on it, and said, "ah, broken." I told him since it was broken it needed to be put in the garbage. He took it and threw it out. The rest of the day he kept saying "ah, Binky broken, garbage." We just kept saying "yep broken" he slept just fine that night with little fuss and his nap the next day at grandpa's was no problem. Monday night however was not fun we were up most of the night, but things have gotten much better since then. He has missed a nap or two but not much waking up at night. I have been waiting to post this because I didn't want to jinx myself.
Next step: potty training and a big boy bed. but i figure as long as he isn't climbing out of his crib or we don't need it he can stay behind bars.
We are so proud of our "almost" big boy!

That is very exciting! We didn't take Gavyn out of his crib until he was about 2 1/2. We were so glad we waited that long, cause the transition was super easy and there was no harm in keeping him there so long. Now to get Jarom off the bottle (at least it isn't a milk bottle anymore)
Way to go little Crew! He is getting so old :)
That's a big accomplishment! Way to go Crew!
