Binkie update and dentist visit

So the update on my lack of binkie. I've been slightly reluctant/fussy at naptime, and sometimes at bedtime as well. But Mom can usually talk me into going to bed. I never ask for my binkie, but I just don't want to go to bed. Mom also says that I don't sleep as long as I used to. I just can't soothe myself back to sleep anymore. I used to sleep from 830pm to about 830am...now I wake up at 730 or 8. And naps? I used to sleep from 1-430 or longer...now I wake up at 330.

We went to the dentist today and I was very good. This time I sat in the chair myself, and followed Dr. Kelly's instructions (like open wide, close lips...etc) I was quiet too. We got fun toothbrushes with a Lego toy inside. She said she could tell that I used the binkie...but no more! And my teeth are spaced nicely and my last pair of molars (on top) are coming out.

Oh, my favorite word/saying these days? Pie pie. What does it mean? Nothing at all. Just something I say. All the time.

No more binkie??!?!?!?

Will it last? No more night binkie (we already got rid of the daytime binkie a long time ago). Yesterday, I decided (with Mom's encouragement) to send my binkies to a baby that needs them, Baby Addison. I helped Mommy put them in the envelope, and we put it all in the mailbox. At bedtime, I was a little upset...to say the least. I didn't actually say that I wanted my binkie, but that I wanted to "go out". Eventually, Mommy calmed me down and got me to go to sleep. I was fine after that and slept the whole night!

When I woke up in the morning....guess what we found on the front porch? Addison, who is so nice, sent me a couple of Thomas the Train toys. I got a remote control Thomas and a motorized Rosie! Now isn't that Addison such a nice baby? Now I'm a big boy! Aren't you proud of me? I sure hope Addison likes her binkies, cuz I sure love my new toys!
