I had my doubts that this day would ever come
but...Whitney has not used her auch(binky) for
over a week now!! Brig and I had been talking about taking it away for awhile now, but just couldn't do it because she loved it sooooo much. Well last Wednesday I decided to see how it went. All morning I talked to her about how she wasn't a baby like Brookie anymore and that she didn't need her auch anymore. She seemed to listen and agree until it was nap time, without her auch. She was really sad and cried. It just about broke my heart, but after all the drama I couldn't just let her have it because then it would just be worse the next time. She didn't end up taking a nap, and that night the crying was worse, so sad. She made it through the night without waking up and the next day for her nap she didn't cry at all. She still acts sad when it's time for bed, but doesn't ask for her auch. Today we found some of her auches under her bed and she gladly helped me put them in Brooke's crib saying, "I big girl, I don't need a auch anymore." So sweet!

Yeah! good for her and you too! that is sad that she is so attached to it. I'm not sure when I'm going to get rid of Colby's. Hope it will be easy.
It is so sad for her but it will be for the best. She is such a cute little girl and her personality will develop with this new step in her life. Good for you Whitney!! You did it!!
About time. Cute picture of Whitney. That's good she took it so well though.
What an adorable picture of her!
