Binkie Free...YEA!!!!


Yea for me and for Briggs!!! Today is day 5 since the big separation with the binkie. I think we are going to make it!!! The truth is that I am the one that couldn't not get rid of Briggs' binkie. He is too old for it and has been ready for a really long time, but I just haven't wanted to make the big change. I know that I have liked being able to give it to him when he has been way fussy but mostly I think it is that he is growing up too fast and I am not ready! With my other boys all these milestones haven't been such a big deal because I always had another baby. Well now I don't have another baby...Briggs is my baby!!! Briggs is out of his crib now and sleeping in a "big boy" bed and that was hard for me too. I just can't believe how fast time goes! Briggs is all about getting himself dressed these days which is a good thing, but if you notice from his pictures some of the outfits are pretty crazy. Briggs loves basketball shorts so about everyday that is what he dresses himself in with some pretty random shirts and shoes. Well on the day I took this picture, Pace said to me, "Look mom, Briggs knows how to match his clothes!" I just laughed...yep he does!!! I should be glad for how independent Briggs is and be glad that he won't be taking his binkie to kindergarten with him after all!!!

It's always so nice to get over another milestone, but I know how you feel. I remember being sad taking things away from Meg. Preslie will be even worse! Now onto potty training :)
