Ready to Go Shopping
We decided that it was FINALLY time to say goodbye to Bella's binkys for good. She would only get them at night, but still she is three and it was time for the big goodbye. We decided that Family Night would be the perfect opportunity to say audios to her old friend. We thought we would "send them to the moon" with balloons, but we did not get enough balloons and the binkys weighed them down. So, we went to plan b. We told Bella that she could get a brand new toy of her choice, if she would pay for it with "binky money."
Checking out the merchandiseWe gathered up her "dees," as she refers to them, she grabbed her purse, and we headed to Target. She very quickly found a puppy that barks and whines. It also had veternarian supplies with it. Very cool.
Finding the binky money.We took the toy upfront and the kind cashier played along and took Bella's 5 "dees" in exchange for her new toy. It worked well. She loves her new toy.
Walking away a winner.
The real test will now come to see how sleeping goes. It took her an extra hour to finally fall asleep tonight. Hoepfully tomorrow will be better.

We just took Whitney's passies away from her. It's not been fun or easy but it certainly was time. Good luck. Bella looks really happy about her new toy. I love that she used her passie money. That is so cute and creative!
