And then there was ONE!

This morning Dayton experienced one of his first tragedies ... he accidentally flushed his binky down the toilet. (I am still laughing as I'm typing this.) Here's what happened.

Dayton likes to flush the toilet. It's really kind of funny ... as he watches the water go down the drain, he waves at it and say "bye bye water". Well, this morning while he was avoiding brushing his teeth, he went over to the toilet and flushed it like he usually does. Now here's the important part, he was carrying his blanket and had his purple binky in his mouth. (What happened to the pink binky you ask? For those that know my son well, he loves his pink binky (to Daddy's dismay). That one got thrown away because it had outlived its usable life.) Anyway, so when he started to say "bye bye water", the binky fell out and in a swirl was gone. "Get it back, Mommy" he said to me. All I could say was "I'm sorry, honey. That binky is gone forever.". The look on his face was utter dismay. Oh, did he cry. So Daddy had to get a flashlight and search under his bed for the LAST binky Dayton has. And then there was ONE!!! One purple binky is all that is left ... when this one is gone Dayton's binky dependence will go with it!
