She was so angry at the mean binky fairy, but that night went right to sleep.

I've heard many stories about giving up binky, so I've tried to avoid it happening here. I've gathered up the binkies and put them up in the cupboard. I only give one to Alexa if she asks. She used to need it ALL the time. She hasn't asked in a while. So I'm glad its going smoothly now. I don't want to fight her later. Glad Austin did so well with giving his up to the binky fairy.
