Day One of Operation Binky-B-Gone

Rodney has recently been moved to a big boy bed. Marks sister Mandy has been staying with us this fall and as soon as a makeshift bed went up for her he decided that a big bed was much better than a crib. He refused to sleep in the crib, actually. So in November I started shopping around for a big bed and found a bed on craigslist that had never been slept on for only 125 including the frame. I will take it! He has loved it. I however have not enjoyed it as much because when he has slept in it all night long his binky gets lost. It either is on the floor or he just can't find it when it is right next to him. He has only had his binky at night and during naps for a while now but waking up in the night just to find a stinking binky is NOT my idea of fun! :) So, yesterday was the day when we would be home for a couple of days so I cut his binky tips and they were officially "broken". It was upsetting at first but he got over it pretty quick. No nap, which I expected. He wasn't upset all morning. But when it came to the time when he usually had it (nap time) he kinda flipped. Last night was the same but he was so tired from no nap he fell asleep very quickly. I was thinking that he would wake up a few times in the night. But, he only woke up once and that was because he was cold. He didn't even ask for it! Wahoo!! He did wake up about an hour before I thought he would and was really upset about his binky... Hopefully after today we will be over the hurdle and ready to move on!! ***fingers crossed***
