Success!

Audrey went ALL night without her binkie! Truth be told, it started because I couldn't find her binkie. That's when we ended up taking it away from Richard. Totally spontaneous. No big party planned. No huge "put-the-binkie-in-the-trash" moment after picking out a replacement toy. I just couldn't find it.
So, I told her if she could be a big girl and go all night without her binkie, I would buy her a doughnut today. Well, since it's hard for me to get to the store, we have to wait until Scott gets home. So, I haven't done it yet. However, she did great! She didn't whine or cry one more time!
This morning, I made sure I was the one to find the binkie, so she didn't find it and think she could still use it. Hopefully she'll be fine with the fact that this is permanent change and not just a one time thing.
In the meantime, we've finally gotten rid of Audrey's binkie! Now if she could just be fully potty-trained...

That's how it happened when Bryce was done with his. We were always losing it and trying to find it, even if it was on the rope;)

Yay! I hope that's the end of it for her (for your sake). Good luck with the potty training!
Peter and Marie are just adorable! I can't believe how much they have grown.
