Back in 1995, Jennifer was visiting us in Utah with her daughter Noelle who was about 2 at the time. Jen was frustrated that Noelle still had a binky and didn't know what to do to get her to give it up. I was babysitting her for an hour or so and decided to try and get her to give it to me for good. I told her that she's a big girl now and she didn't need a binky anymore. She thought about it for a minute then handed me the binky. When Jen came home, Noelle ran up to her and proudly proclaimed: "No more binkies...all gone! I'm a big girl now!"
We thought Greyson would never give up the binky. He was really attached to it. But after losing his preferred latex sucking device, we decided it was time. Miles was also 15 months old when he was weaned from his. It's been a little hard getting him to sleep at night but he's coping well. 
As for Noelle: she's now almost 15 and still doesn't use a binky. ☺
