Day #1 No Binky!!

So today I finally decided that I was brave enough to take away Sydney's binkys. We have been putting it off for a long time, mainly because she keeps getting sick and we don't want to add undue stress by taking away one of her comfort objects. The last few weeks I have become increasingly tired of Sydney's growing need for her binky. Also she has been trying to talk while the binky is in her mouth which really annoys me! Sydney talks so much with out her binky and I feel like her having it constantly in her mouth is preventing her from talking and developing her language as much as she can. So this morning during a temperary moment of insanity I clipped the ends off of Sydney's binkys.(Thanks Brandi for the idea!)
In this picture Sydney is examining her newly clipped binky. She looked at it for a minute, touched the hole in the center, looked up at me and said "Uh Oh! Uh Oh!"
Decding the her binky's are no good this way, Sydney took them into the kitchen and put them on the table.

When I put Sydney down for her morning nap, I gave her one of her snipped binkys. She looked at it for a second and then threw it down on the floor. She then snuggled into her blankets and fell right to sleep. No Crying at all! I am amased, I truly hope that the rest of today will go as smoothly as this morning has!

Here are some random pics of Sydney at the park.......

Side note: Sydney is doing a lot better! Her ears only hurt her when she is in the tub, and her fevers are gone. Now her little tush is a different story! Yesterday I noticed that she was getting a yeast infection(darn antibiotics!) I have medicine for it but so far its not doing much good, because every time she poops it makes the medicine come right off. Yesterday she had 12 diarrhea diapers and 2 wet ones! Yikes! That box of diapers I bought yesterday isn't going to last very long with those kind of numbers everyday! Today has been a little better but not much, hopefully her diarrhea diapers will continue to decrease each day so that we can get her little bum to heal!
