Getting Bigger

Adam has embraced getting bigger and no longer wants me to call him "baby" or refer to him as "baby brother". Part of this process was handing over his binkies the day after his birthday in December. He has asked for them a few times, including recently, which surprised me. It has been almost 4 months since they made their exit. I wondered if maybe he sees Ashlyn's binkies and they spark some deep desire. Yesterday, a light bulb popped on in my head when he asked for his binky. I said "NO! You're too big for your binky!!" He said "Yeah because Sabrina told me to stop getting bigger!!!" Maybe he's just trying to figure out a way to please all the adults who adore how cute he is at this stage and are telling him to stop growing and that he's getting too big. He's a smart kid!
