" I do it my big self!"

Those are Lyssie's favorite words lately! And most of the time she can do it her big self. Now for my hormonal story. The other morning, Lyss went into our room where Jake was. She still had her binki in her mouth, so Jake took it out and asked her if he should cut it. She said yes, so we took it downstairs and Lyssie and I watched as Jake cut the tip of the bink off. All of the sudden I just started crying. I was laughing too cause I couldn't figure out for sure why I was crying, but then I just started bawling and Lyss looked at me like I had lost my mind! So that day for her nap, she found another bink that we had, so the bink wasn't really gone. Then 2 days later, it was time for her to go to bed and she came in the bathroom and told me that she was a big girl and that she didn't need a bink! She hasn't had one since. She has been insisting on falling asleep in our bed since, but no bink! YEA! I have been wondering how I was going to get rid of that thing cause she was very attached to it. She loves to get out of the car her big self, go potty her big self (with some wiping assistance!)She is just at such a fun age and is doing and learning so much!
