Farewell

Ruckus has had a life long love affair with his binky.

Life. Long.

We knew that in order to get this rubber creature out of his life FOREVER we had to do something big and dramatic.

So, we had a Farewell Binky Party/Funeral.

Ruckus threw his binkies - one by one - into the box that was  placed in the  hole Little C dug.

Lou lending some affectionate brotherly support.

And.... so far so good.
Ruckus was so excited to be a big boy! That night he kept proclaiming to his brothers, "Hey Guys, I'm a big boy now. I'm a big boy!"
Hopefully this will lead us swiftly into the transition of potty training. :)
Way to go Ruckus! We are proud of you!
