Blake relinquishes the binki

Blake gave up his pacifier shortly before turning three. I was ready to ban them when he broke his leg. I thought I would surely have to wait until the cast came off, but after a few weeks, I just couldn't stand it anymore. The "binki fairy" came in early April and took his bag of binkis from the tree in the backyard and gave him a Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle in place of the binkis. Blake did not consider this a fair trade. He kept crying that he was "still a little boy," and hence was entitled to his binkis still.
The first night, Farah slept with him. She said she had to rub his back and sing to him to keep him from fussing. Thank God for kind big sisters!

I remember Farah was excited to leave the bag for the binki fairy and wait for her present. Blake, not so much.
