Toddler "nook" addiction, lol.
My son had his 18 month check-up with the doctor. He checked out to be in perfect health. My doctor did say that it was time to get rid of the binkey, aka, nook, and the official name pacifier. Wow, what a pain in the rear it has been so far.
We decided that he will only get his nuk at night, and then gone for good in about a week. So far I have caught him several times pulling nooks out of hiding places that he has stashed them in, and when I catch him he either throws it behind something or sits on it.
It's funny to see what he is doing. Reminds me of myself stashing 12 packs in the basement. Not to mention hearing stories of fellow AA members stories of hiding bottles of booze.
Too bad they don't have a 12 step program for toddlers pacifier addiction.
1) We admitted that we were powerless over the binkey and we have made Mommy and Daddy's life nerve racking. lol.

I remember those days.
I have twins. When one would drop his binkey, he'd steal his brothers'. It was funny to watch two one-year-olds in a knock-down, fight-to-the-death cage match (the cage being the play pen)! I don't think they hid any, though. They'd just scream until one of us gave in.
Glad your boy's check-up went well.

Thanks everyone. Getting rid of the binkey right now is going to be a little tougher than expected. He's cutting two teeth right now, and one of them is a moller. I've been told by other parents that when kids cut the big teeth in the back it can be tough for them. He slept REALLY bad last night because of it.
Poor kid. I wish I could take the pain for him. I'm praying for him. God wouldnt give him anything he couldn't handle.

Lol, lovely thread Tom!
My girl's was a dana. My boy, who has so many traits that remind me of me that it scares me, had a worrying name for his. He called his...
his "bottle". I kid you not.
Enjoy these days, sober dad!
