Okay so my 3 year old still has her binky. Boo me all you want. She has one and at this point I am happy its only a binky a not a thumb. She would suck her thumb till she was 16 I know she would.
Matthew had a binky till he was just about 4 (same age as Liv) and his papa offered to get him a bunny if he threw away his binky's and sure enough 3 days later..Winnie the pooh binky was thrown away and set out to the curb ,or so he thought. I grabbed it out of the garbage and hid it for that Just-in-case-we-need-it-having-major-issues-moment. We never did. Next day Papa comes over sporting a new bunny he (Matthew) proudly named Cow&Chicken.
Here is what Bribes we had for Miss America
1) Binky Fairy will bring you a new bike. One that can hold your baby and barbies and has pom-poms on the handle bars.
2) I will let you get a pedicure and have a red flower on your toe.
3) You can get a big girl bed paint your room and put up polka dots
4) I will make you a new tutu and buy you a new Easter dress.
5) A new barbie?
Finally...............
Dad will take you to the fair and ride the Ferris wheel with you....
One night down with NO binky! Yippeeee!!
Who's your momma???
About Me
- the story of my life...
- I am the oldest of 4 children. Born with hands on my hip and orders flying out of my mouth. I grew up fast. My thoughts swirl in my head over and over before I will post them...mainly due to the fact I can't type or spell very good or is it well? I have always been the take control organize and plan everything child. Until I had kids...now they take control and they plan everything. I married the love of my life over 10 years ago. On the days I think of trading him in I remember I must give up my in-laws...I would never do that! I wonder if I could get visitation with them? I spend most of the days convincing my children that just because your born doesn't mean you "get" to go to Disneyland, have a cell phone or any other snazzy item that will break my bank. I have to count to 20 everyday before I lose my temper and barely make it to 8 before I lose my patience. I have to tell my kids everyday at least 5 times I love them just to try and help them forget how Not so perfect I am. This is the story of our life...I hope you enjoy and if you don't feel free to email me at Captianclock@aol.com
