habits are hard to break
addictions, even harder
my muffy has had a bad habit, er, addiction
to her "passy" since birth.
it has soothed her, helped her sleep
and generally kept her happy.
she even gave it up a couple years ago --
(amongst lots of tears and sleepless nights)
the passy fairy came and left her a big-girl gift (princess walkie talkies!)
and she spent a few years without them.
then, we found one...
and she wanted to try it, you know, just to see if she still liked it,
and sure enough, she did!
i tried to let her keep it for her dollies,
but when i caught her with it, it was just too much.
so once again, i summoned the passy fairy, who left a very stern note this time.
these are the last two i have, hidden in my desk drawer at work
they're away from her, but a reminder of my baby to me.
who knew a binky would cause so many tears?

ReplyDeleteAdvice???
I have no idea how or why but my little guy rejected his at 10 months...we spent a week in Manhatten where he had it in his mouth 24/7...we came home and he threw it out lol! My problem is that he wont give up the bottle - tho I have limited it to just at home at only twice a day.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I love calling it a "binky". I remember one episode of "Reba" where her son-in-law and daughter were talking about their baby, and he goes, "Listen to us- 'Baba', 'Binky'... she's taken away our ability to speak like big people!" Haha!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Hope its working ok for sweet lil Muffy!!!
ReplyDeleteI still have one from each of my boys in a box... I remember we told them (at age 2) that it was just the rules that pacis had to be given up then. We didn't make up the rules - the "infamous THEY" did. We just had to follow them, because "they" said so. The amazing fact is that both boys bought it!
