Binkie to the Baby Deers

Braden is on the way to becoming a big boy.  He has been sleeping in a big boy bed for awhile and now he doesn't sleep with a binkie anymore. (Potty training is the last big hurdle!)  He had been talking about throwing his binkie to the fish in the lake, but since we don't have any fishes close by we decided instead to throw it outside to the baby deer. (we have way too many of those)  Braden just woke up one morning and decided to do it.  He opened the front door, threw it in the grass, and that was it.  Later that evening to his surprise the binkies were gone.  I guess the baby deer (or mommy) came to get them.   We have been binkie free ever since.  He asked about them a couple of times, but we just said the baby deer had them and he moved on.  That was much easier than I thought it would be!

  2. The caption, "mom, I"m a big boy" in front of a cutie pie boy in footed pajamas, seems ironic :)
