Bye Bye Binky!..almost.

Hunter has this really bad habit.  It's his binky.  He's pretty attached to that thing.  He sneaks it out of his bed all day long.  He knows he's not supposed to have it except for bed at night, which is still pretty ridiculous since he's almost 3.  The other night, when I took him to go potty after he had been asleep, he had it in his mouth as I set him on the toilet.  I had a split-second thought that maybe that wasn't such a good idea.  Then I heard PLUNK!  He had yawned or something and it fell right in the toilet.  I was pretty nervous since I didn't know where another one was.  I was silently praying when I put him back in bed that he wouldn't look for it.  Luckily he was pretty tired.  Now we are down to our last one and if it even lasts until he's 3, he can keep it until then.  I have been trying to prepare him for the separation.  We have been talking about when he turns 3 he is going to preschool and he's getting rid of his binky.  I asked him if he knew what happens when he turns 3.  He said, "My 3?"  "No, you are still 2," I told him, "When you turn 3, you are going to preschool and you are gonna say 'Bye Bye' to Binky. 
 "Binky no talk," he told me.
