"The Binky Fairy take it a heaven!"

If you happen to run into Tessa, she might say this little phrase as part of her introduction. I wouldn't say she is proud of her accomplishment, but she is very aware that her binky is no longer around. We started by reading this:
Clara and the Binky Fairy
When Tessa started talking about the Binky Fairy, we knew she was ready.

We had a little party and sent the binky to Binky Fairy Heaven via balloons. Next we found presents that the binky fairy left for Tessa: a new baby doll, pillow, and a fairy costume! We played pin the binky on the baby, sucked on ring pops, and dance dance danced! Tessa was so tired that night. It all worked out beautifully!

Tessa took her last couple of sucks.
Then we waived good-bye to the binky as it floated away.

Not quite convinced.

Surprise! Binky Fairy brought presents.

I love the binky. I think I was more sad to see it go than Tessa. So long to peaceful nights of sleep, quiet sacrament meetings, and good old plugging. My baby is growing up.
Now, on to potty training!
