Well via suggestion of a friend we used a creative way to help Emma stop using 'Binkies'. We were down to 2 (one for night and one for long car rides) and we bagged them both and went to the store. I told Emma we would find something she could 'buy' with her binkies.
We hit up the pink toy isle first and there were 2 or 3 different things she liked, I made it very clear that she had to pick one and had to decide. I would ask "Emma, do you like this toy better than this one?" When we found the Barbies her eyes got big. When we found some equestrian Barbie that came with a horse the search was over. She said to me "Mommy you don't have to ask me anymore."
I let my 2 year old get a Barbie...I'm not sure how I feel about that.

seriously, it's so cute! lol every little girl should have a barbie, even if her body is ridiculously out of proportion! :)
ReplyDeleteSienna had the same Barbie....turns out she still has the horse but the Barbie is long gone!
ReplyDeleteDid it work with the Binkie?'
