Trying to eliminate the Binkie!

We've been slowly trying to eliminate/reduce the use of the Binkie...affectionately called "Mine" in our house!  She's become quite attached and uses it as a comfort item. As a child thumb-sucker, I'm hoping this will be easier than I remember quitting my habit.  It's now been 36 hours+ of not having our Mine!!!  She's only asked for it a few times, but...apparently unable to find it (hehehe...hidden well!). HOWEVER...NO NAP TODAY!!!!  Is this our punishment?!?!  We'll see how this goes.  Wish us luck.  And wish us well with baby boy...because he'll most likely have a Binkie at times.  I'm hoping we'll be able to break the habit sooner than we did with Kayleigh!

What melts my heart...

I absolutely love hearing my little girl (without prompting) say...I love you!  Please!  Thank You!  Really...a 22 month old does a better job of this than some adults! 

She is so in love with her little brother too!  She says, "Hi!" and "Love you" as she smacks my tummy and or kisses it!  I so hope she loves him this much when he's out in the real world!
