the co-dependency with the "blinky" is over!


Out of nowhere, Keagan handed me his binky during bedtime and said "done!". He then set the binky next to his milk, on the windowsill, and went to bed without it. He slept through the night without the need for one bink in the mouth and one in each hand. Behavior repeated at nap time the next day and it has now been four days with zero requests .

In an effort to support his desire to quit the bink, the binky disappeared and hasn't come back since.

Success. No need to deal with the binky any longer or attempt to torture him when we feel it is time for it to go away -- phew!
