In the midst of Connie visiting and our summer we got rid of Asher's binky. He ended up going cold turkey and didn't even get to say goodbye to his binky. Asher always handed over his binky when he woke up in the morning so I could put it up. I usually put it on top of the book case. I remember him handing me the binky but I don't remember what I did with it. When it came time for his nap we couldn't find it (he was down to his last binky). I turned the house upside down looking for it but it was gone. After many tears he finally fell asleep that afternoon for a short nap. After the nap I warned him that we still hadn't found the binky and he would probably have to go to sleep that night without it. I was dreading the night but when bedtime came to did great, he talked about it but still went to bed without tears. And since then he has been great although he has giving up an official nap. Most days I can still get him to nap if I put on a movie or we are in the car around nap time he will fall asleep. About a week after the binky was gone we found where it had been hiding. Greydon had snatched it from wherever I had left it and stuck it in the pocket of his pants. It all worked out in the end, the binky is no longer needed and the experience wasn't too traumatic for Asher.
