Last night for the first time, Audrey slept without her binky!! It all started because she has a little rash on the lower side of her mouth going onto her chin. Well, she has had it for a week or so, and I think the binky is partially to blame. So I showed it to Audrey in the mirror after her bath and told her that we needed her to sleep without her binky so that it could heal. She agreed to that and went right to bed without it. Of course, we still gave her the "flipping nose binky", but at least she wasn't sucking on a binky. She slept all night without incident.
I am so glad she is such a reasonable kid. I mean, she just agreed to sleep sans binky, because she could see that there was a good reason for me asking. And that was that, no fuss, no fight, no crying, just talking and hugging.

Wow, what a cool child ( I say with grandmotherly pride). I think most children will be reasonable as long as their needs are met and they know that they are "seen and heard." Good job mom and dad.
