My 2.5 year old daughter, Gabrielle, has finally given up the binky (pacifier)! It wasn't easy, but we decided this past Saturday night to tell her that the binky fairy came and took her binkies to babies that needed them. It has been easier than we expected the past few nights. She has only asked for it a couple of times. I think we're over the worst part of it and we are so happy that it's gone! Now we just have to get her to use the potty (and stop acting like the spawn of satan with her terrible-two attitude) and we'll be all set.
