My plan

Lily is very attached to her binkys. She is almost two and according to my mother she should should have been off of them by one but I just didn't have the heart to take them away. Right now she can only have them at nap and night time. She always has two too, one in her mouth and the second one she holds in her hand and rubs on the side of her face like a lot of kids do with a stuffed animal or blanket. So, my plan is this, I will cut a small hole in one of her binkys every week until they are all "broken". I put a hole in one today and it didn't go quite as planned. I took her oldest one that she doesn't use much anymore to start with. She asked for it so I gave it to her with the hole. She took the binky put it in her mouth and took it right back out. She looked at it kind of funny but put it back in and went to play. She walked over to Hannah who was in her swing and talked to her for a minute and then went over to her toys. When I looked at what she was doing I realized that she had pulled a switcheroo on me. When she went over to the swing she took Hannah's binky and left Hannah the one with the hole in it. What a nice big sister. I did give her non hole binkys when she went down for her nap but since she got up she has looked at the one with the hole a couple of times but doesn't want it. I know my plan will take some time but hopefully it will slowly taper her off the binky.
