Mouth

I figured I would post this after reading Alison's post about the binky's. Lilly is also a binky addict. She was getting pretty good with it, only really "needing" it for bed, or if she saw it she thought she needed it. But a couple weeks ago when she got sick she thought she had to have it all the time. I guess it was like comfort food, without the food. In fact she lost like 3 pounds when she was sick, (which for her is a lot) because she would not eat much at all. Now that she is not sick any more, she is eating A LOT! I am sure she has put on a couple pounds more than she lost. But even though she is eating now, she still thing she needs her binky all the time! It doesn't matter if she is going to bed or sees it or anything. If she doesn't have it, she will ask for it. It is funny though because she doesn't call it a binky, she calls it a "Mouth", I guess because that is where it goes. She knows what a mouth is, and we call her binky a binky and she knows what that is. I guess mouth is just easier to say than binky.
Needless to say, I don't know if we are going to get her to give it up anytime soon, even though we would like to. She even has a doll ("baby") that has a binky and when she goes to bed she wants to make sure her baby has it's "mouth" in it's mouth too.
