That would translate out to be Binky. :)
So I am so sick of hearing the phrase from my son "Iwan Ici!" Or just "ici" in a small quiet voice because he knows it isnt bedtime or naptime...that I finally decided Binky's life needed to come to an end. LOL...Our dear binky's life was finally complete on saturday morning. Well...he had little bit of a drawn out death, but he is finally dead. LOL. Ok...so saturday morning, after Taysen requested his binky one too many times by only 10 o'clock in the morning, no where near naptime, I went in the other room when he wasnt looking and cut off the tip to his beloved bink. :O At first I was a little nervous, scared, then a little mad at myself because I knew I wasnt ready for this struggle. Well...I set it on the floor when Taysen wasnt looking so he could find it for hisself. I didnt want him knowing I killed it! Haha...anyhow, he finds it in record time, and brings it to me all sad..."Ici ouchie" and "Ici bote" (broke) lol...it was so adorable and cruel at the same time. I felt so bad for the kid, but he has to drop the binky sometime this lifetime! So anyways, for the next couple of hours he reminded me endlessly that his binky had an ouchie and that it was broken, over and over and over again. Saturday afternoon after his nap and while he wasnt watching I trimmed the tip, because he still wanted to keep it his mouth, just not sucking it, but holding it in with his teeth. He still took it to bed, but couldnt barely keep it in his mouth because the nub was so short. Finally sunday morning when he woke up, I scooped up the bink and put it in my pocket...then into a drawer in my room for him to see when he is 30 and I am telling him this story. LOL. He has sucsessfully gone two full days and two full sleeps without his binky! He asked for it last night when he went to bed, but I reminded him that it was broken, and he dropped the issue. :) He has been so great, no tantrums, no whining, nothing. Its like he never had it. So the long love of Binky is finally over!!! :) (And yes, we have been limiting Rowan to hers, just because we dont want it around to tempt Taysen in any way! Haha...she is strictly only allowed her binky at nap and bedtime now. And with Rowan, she seriously could care less, she screams whether or not its plugging her mouth. LOL...and really, it may make it easier to get rid of when she is a little older too. I've actually been thinking about getting rid of hers now too totally, but not sure if thats right or wrong...like for sleeping...does she still need that sucking? I dont want to be mean, she is just a baby still...well somewhat. Haha...any insight girls??)
Anyhow so I guess thats it for now...no other big news. :) Hope youre all doing well! :D

LOL... I love "Ici dote." aww
He did remarkably well compared to Delta's week long meltdown. WTG
Awww...such a big boy now!!
I can't be any help with the whole paci thing because none of my guys ever wanted paci's. I tried, but they rejected. My sis's son used his until he was 3. She did what you did, but it took a little longer for my nephew to get over it. lol
Great job, Mama :)
We are an anti paci house here. Not necessarily me or my husband but my children both vehemently rejected them from birth. What a great way to get rid of it though. You're so smart! I know you feel slightly cruel but just wait until he's 12 he will appreciate it.
It also sounds like his communication skills are improving immensely.
Congrats on kicking the paci habit Taysen!
I am having the opposite problem. Ella LOVES to suck on her index and middle finger (at the same time). I am trying to encourage her to suck on the pacifier because that will be a little easier to break her of doing down the road. I can take away a paci but not her fingers. LOL
Yah on being paci free! I'm not much use, we don't use them. Emily refused and Arlia had one from 8 weeks until she was 4 months old and then I took it off her cause they drove me nuts (sterilising, popping them back in the mouth constantly etc.) but I offered her a boob instead and after a week she completely refused to take a paci. But she's a thumb sucker and I have no idea on how to break that habit!
Yay Melissa! How old is Rowan now? They say the easist time to break a kid of something or teach thems omething is 6-9 months and then after that at 1 year. The longer you let it go, the harder it is because the more they remember. My friend's daughter just lost hers at almost 3 and it has affected her speech. If she cries regardless, I say just take it, but if it is the only thing that gives you some peace, let it go.
