Bye Bye Old Friend

Tegan has been addicted to his binky since the day he was born.  I seriously can't remember a time that he didn't have a binky either in his hand or in his mouth!  In the past 21 months he has gone through at least 20 binky's!
He even learned to do some pretty cool tricks with his friend binky!!
 Since he was about 18 months we have been trying to get rid of the binky but every time we got close he would get sick and it was the only thing that would comfort him...so I would give it back!  We finally got to the point where he only had it at night and I was content to let him keep it for a few more months but only have it at night. 
Well, about a week ago we had been out and about one night running errands and he fell asleep in the car on the way home so we just put him in his big boy bed with no binky.  Did we dare hope that he would make it through the night without waking up and asking for it?
 Well he didn't...not only did he not ask for it but he slept through the whole night for the first time in months.  Who knew it would be so easy!! We are now one week binky free and loving it...he hasn't asked for it once!! 
Good Job Tegan!!
