This weekend, Jacob said goodbye to the Binky! It had gotten to the point where he wanted one for his mouth, one for each hand, and was asking for more to put in his dump trucks. My patience with binkies had run OUT. I put them all in a bowl and high on the counter - I don't know what I was saving them for. They should go in the trash. Jacob has been asking for them and we tell him the binkies went bye-bye, to a baby that needs them cuz Jacob's a big boy and big boys don't need binkies. He looks me in the eye and says "buye binky!" He's taken a nap without, and gone to bed for two nights without. We haven't had any meltdowns either. Honestly, it was easier than I thought!
I made an appointment with the pediatrician for Jacob - it's June 2. He had a scratch by his nose, under his eye. The scratch healed but, a very strange mark grew in it's place. Edna always referred to them as strawberry birthmarks and I'm not sure that's what this is. What Jacob has is similar to these but not as red, it's smaller, and it's smooth. I'm concerned for as fast as it has grown and the way it has raised from his skin. It doesn't look like a blister or a pimple, more like a mole or a skin tab. There isn't any swelling or redness around it. It doesn't hurt him. We'll have the Dr. take a look at it.
My nephew, Matt and his girlfriend, Kim brought Jacob a new slide over the weekend. I think the whole thing is less than 3 feet tall. Jacob loves it! He can climb in, slide down, and stand back up all by himself! He's so proud. He's in a bit of an independent stage. He wants to do everything himself. They also brought a Batman scooter but, Jacob thinks it's some kind of bike and gets mad because he can't ride it. We did fix up his tricycle on a stick (ours is the previous model - $5 at a yard sale) and he loves to sit on that while we push him. He is quick to get angry though as he wants to pedal it but, won't push on the pedals...Go figure!
Lastly, congratulations to Kim and Jason (Jeremy's boss and his wife) on the new addition to their family. Welcome Carson!
