I was actually going to comment that crack is a great binky replacement.

It's also a great replacement for booze.

By the way, DSD, that Pacifier Day sounds like a bizarre perversion on Easter.

My daughter used a 'pugger' as she called it. I think she still holds a grudge against me for taking it away from here. My son, on the other hand, got attached to his blue blankie....I'm pretty sure it went off to college with him and hides under his pillow or something.

You could secretly install a small flashing LED inside the handle of it. i don't know if that would work, but it gives me the excuse I needed to make a post about the dreaded Blinky Binky of doom!

Actually, if you made the LED come on with suction that could make for a hilarious video!

The kid's natural reaction to the blinking light would be to pop it out of his mouth straight away and examine it, followed by shaking and a befuddled look. He'd put it back in his mouth and it would start blinking again, hilarity would ensue.

Add an electric shock of some sort, and it becomes an excellent deterrent!

You haven't met Hannah. She'd spend the night fashioning some sort of weapon out of it and taser me in the morning.

To get that on video, I'd bend my scruples and sleep over with you, keeping you warm all night. The money I'd make off AFV would be so worth it.

What did you think they were teaching her at McVeigh's Little Lambs? Hint: Not fingerpaints.

Here you go. Remember, Binkies are a gateway drug. You must end the addiciton before it begins! You'll never know what your kid will be sucking down next!

Jack's not lovin' his either. I'll make him love it, though, and then I'll take it away.

Wootles!

I love the whole blank-slatedness of kids. Joph Jr. already associates me with Throwing Things Away.

I think all boys have a blue blankie. Mine has one and he's only recently gotten to where he can function without it.

Noah never used a pacifier, either. But getting him weaned off a bottle was a *****. He finally decided one day he was a big boy and tossed the last one we had in the trash.

too bad it was full of my vodka

Just so you know, you all suck for not reading my story about the two year old toking it up.

I'm not a parent, but my friend who is tends to use vacations as opportunities to end bottle/pacifier use. The assumption is that the kid is so distracted by the change in circumstances that the loss isn't as noticable.




Oh, and I went straight from thumb sucking to cigarette smoking so I really encourage you to get the kid off the oral fixation earlier rather than later.
