The Binkie is Back January 28, 2009

The binkie is back.

Hannah is very pleasant to reason with, and didn’t throw a big stink when we conveniently lost her dumb binkie last week.  However, she can be devious, and she conveniently failed to mention to us that if we took her binkie away, she would sleep five fewer hours every 24 hour period.

I need my sleep.

I need her to take quality naps.

If sucking on a binkie will buy me five more hours of personal time, SHE CAN HAVE IT.

This is why the dumb thing is back.

When David miraculously found the stupid thing two nights ago and presented it to her, she lit up like it was the greatest gift.  EVER.  It was at this moment that she decided David was her favorite parent.  Period.

On the other hand, Dallin is still sleeping like a champ, and honestly, that is all I ask for.  He too can have  binkie when he is two and half and speaking in full paragraphs, and asking people what their names are, and identifying colors, and singing along to songs on the radio.

I don’t care.  Because if it makes him happy, and he sleeps 100% better with it.  HE CAN HAVE IT TOO.
