I've started talking up giving up the binky and giving them to all the babies when DD turns 2 (in 6ish weeks) and is a "big girl" but she's excited about it now too and keeps talking about giving them to the babies, etc. So, I'm thinking maybe we will try it a little sooner. I'm trying to decide what a good present would be - any suggestions?? She just got a new Dora doll a few weeks ago that would have been perfect . .. but I need something else.
Re: what's a good present from the binky fairy?
my cousin did Build a Bear. They put one of the binkies in the animal they made and sent the rest of the binkies away.
this is an awesome idea! i wish i would have thought of that when we were there a few months ago
Does she typically hang out w/ the binky all day or is it just for naps/bedtime?
If it's just for sleeping then I would get her something that she can sleep with- either an animal, or you could make it a more "mature" gift like a new blanket or pillow w/ matching sheets, etc. When we moved DD into the toddler bed I got her all new bedding and we made a production out of making her new bed and I think that really helped w/ the transition.
Well hello stranger!
Its mostly bedtime, but whenever she's upset, its the 1st thing she asks for. Yeah. ... maybe new sheets or a blanket would be good. Hmmmm - or maybe a pillow pet. . ..
