Mr. Big Stuff

We decided it was time for Sam to give up his binky during the day. He can now only have it at naptime and bedtime. He has adapted to this change surprisingly well. If he runs out of his room with it in his mouth, we tell him to put binky back in bed. So he runs in his room and has a little conversation with binky as he puts it in his bed. "Bye bye binky. Binky bed. Big boy. Binky bed." It is really very cute!
Every few hours he will go lay in his bed for about five minutes and suck on his binky, then get back up and go play. Andy calls these episodes his binky breaks- "you know, like a smoke break." Okaaay. I guess we all need a break now and again, whether it is with a binky, a drink, a smoke, whatever!
