Binkie

Yesterday we lost TaKara's binkie. We looked everywhere for it (under the furniture, in the hamper, in the trash, in the board games, in the shoes, in our pockets, etc.). Luckily we found it in the desk cupboard where we keep the DVDs.

Today TaKara wasn't as lucky. We looked everywhere again and couldn't find it. She puts it in the door handle of the truck while we go to do chores so she doesn't get it dirty. We think that it fell out when the door got slammed. We have never seen it there though so it is still a mystery. It is a mum and last week she would take any kind so we tried a nuk. She did not want anything to do with it this time! She wouldn't go to bed so we watched a movie for about 10 minutes and she was out.

The next couple of night she would look under the couch and recliner then stand up and put her hands up in the air and say Ah Oh, shrug her shoulders, take Dale's hand and lead him into her bed and go to sleep. She hasn't even tried to take any other little kid's binkie like in the past.

We were going to take her binkie away any day so it worked out perfectly...the only thing that I miss about last week is she doesn't take her naps like she used to. She used to take a 3 hour nap in the morning and then another hour and a half nap in the afternoon. Now we are lucky to get an hour nap in after lunch. I guess she decided if I am too big for a binkie then I am too big for naps. She is growing up so fast I can't believe it!!!
