Jude turned th
ree this past week and along with turning three, he also had to give up the binky. He was well aware that this was going to take place, however talking about it and doing it were two totally different scenerios. He was completely confident in the idea of it all, but when it comes right down to it....it's probably the hardest thing this three-year-old has ever encountered. He doesn't know how to sooth himself now...when he's tired or hurt. It's really kind of sad. Tonight, he just cried uncontrollably for about 1 hour. Nothing I could do or say, would ease his pain. As sad as it sounds, I really, at the time, had no empathy for the kid, rather I wanted to set him in a room and shut the door. Pray for us, seriously! He's not asleep yet!!!
