Guard is almost four. And he still has a binky. What is wrong with his parents??!!
It was so beyond time to get rid of the binky!
When we mentioned it to Guard, he was quite upset and hesitant. But, we had Kate talk to him about putting his binky in a stuffed animal (like we did with her binky). Guard was a bit more on board after that.
We tried to find a time to go to Build-A-Bear, but was just so busy. And Guard kept his binky every night. Finally, one day at JoAnn's Guard spotted a cute little arctic seal and asked for it. After examining it, I was pretty sure I could open the seam, put the binky in and sew it up. So, Guard went home with his seal and named him Arky.
Luckily for me, putting in the bink was a piece of cake. It took five minutes and Arky was stitched up without a problem.
Guard loves him!
Not sure what we were so worried and nervous about. Guard hasn't had a problem at all sleeping at night without his binky. If he has Arky, he's good. It was definitely time for the binky to go!

What a clever (and brave) mother you are! It was time, but you found a very creative way to solve the problem. You are a wonder! I think Arky is a keeper!
