R is 3 years old has still has his "bobi" (not sure where he came up with that name, but that's what he's called his paci since he could talk). He just gets it for sleeping, and we've been reluctant to take it away because of all the moving and big changes he's been going through (we felt it was more important to get him potty trained than to get him off the bobi first).
I've been talking to him about how he's a big boy now and pretty soon he won't have his bobi anymore. He knows it will make his teeth look funny (which he of course thinks is funny) too.
I was talking to him about it again this morning as he cuddled in bed with me holding my hair and sucking away contently, and I realized it makes me sad to think about getting rid of it. For one, he's my baby, and without that bobi there's really no "baby" left. Two, he's such a good sleeper, I worry that if I take it away he won't sleep as well. And three, I will miss it.
I've taken pictures of him with it (and scrapped them), but the thought of no more bobi still makes me sad. I know I need to get over it and just do it one way or another (any ideas on how?!?). *sigh*
(I haven't forgotten about pictures... I'll get some up soon!)

OOOH! I can't wait to hear what you do, we are not far away from this ourselves with my baby!
I saw on a friend's blog that she attached the binky to balloons and sent it to "another baby" who would need it more...
We also had a friend who wrapped it in a box for the binky fairy and the next morning there was a new toy in its place in "trade"...
AND one more: We had friends who always gave their binky's to Santa.
Hope these ideas help!
It's so fun being on Britt's CT with you. Your blog is super cute and I am excited to get to know you better!!
