On New Year's Eve this year, we took Kooper's Binkie away for good. He helped us cut it up and throw it away. I really did let him have it too long, but I just couldn't help myself, so enough was enough. He handled the whole thing Very well, almost too well. I should have known it was too good to be true!
The First Night without it, he stayed up till almost 1 with the other kids! He was playing so well, and having so much fun, that I figured what the heck. Once everyone left and we got him in bed, he cried for 20 minutes before I just went in and rocked him to sleep. I knew he was beyond tired and just needed some love.
The next day at nap time, he cried for over an hour before crashing. That night was 1 hour and 20 minutes. This kept going for almost a week! Then he comes down with Bronchiolitis, and most likely RSV (The Dr. didn't do the test because it wouldn't have changed the treatment.) So for almost a week and a half, we have been having sleep issues, me and Kooper.
In case anyone else needed reminding as much as I do, here is pictures of him actually sleeping! Even if it is with a binks!
I am proud of myself that I stayed strong though, and we are STILL binkie free! Go Kooper!
