Bink Detox Day 1

We made it through the first 24 hours. He was fine all day. He never did take a nap until we got to IKEA. At home, he stayed in his bed awake for 45 minutes. That is not out of character for him, so I don't think it had anything to do with the bink.
When it came to bed time, that was a different story all together.
I put him in bed at 8:00pm like always, and he cried and screamed to the point of insanity for a hour. I took him out and let him stay up until Tim got home (10pm). By then, he was no problem and went right down.
I never caved and am proud of it. This is all too familiar. We went through this in his early days of getting him to self sooth and put himself to sleep.
This truly sucks. I wish he never got on it in the first place. I hope Sadie will not need one. Cooper was born without a suck reflex, so hence the bink.

He and I were playing with Tim's RC helicopter today, and it flew under the couch. He went down on the floor to get it and came up smiling and saying Mama Mama and pointing. I looked and found a stray. CRAP!
I grabbed it and told him it was dirty and brought it to the kitchen. He never said anything else!
