For at least six months we’ve been talking about the binky fairy – how when you’re ready, you can leave all your old binkies for her, and she will come and collect them to give to all the babies who need them. He voluntarily gave them up about 10 days ago when he knew that boys who slept in big boy beds didn’t need binkies. But whenever we asked him if he wanted to leave his binkies for her, he would say, “I’m noooot ready yet.” Which I totally respect. He may not have been USING the binkies, but he liked knowing that there were still some around. We never pushed. But last night, he told us he was ready. So we gathered them up, and wrote her a little note.
In the morning, while he was still groggy, he suddenly remembered that the binky fairy came last night. We ran to get Daddy and he giggled all the way down the stairs.
Thank goodness we got those new floors.
Outside he has to wear a helmet, which is not his favorite. So I showed him a video of a big guy going down some stairs wearing his helmet. Mommy isn’t very bright sometimes.
