Thank you to all who gave the wonderful advice! I ended up using a few different ideas. We took it away a few days ago and life has been a lot better. It has been a lot easier than I ever expected. The tantrums have reduced. It takes more work to put him to bed at night but well worth it. When he started crying for his binky, I gave him a cut one and boy was he mad! He put it in and out of the trash about 3 times before he would leave it there for good and 1/2 hour after crying he fell asleep. He only asked for it once after that and now he just jabbers all the time and is actually talking! He repeats words that we say all the time.
Hayden and Hadley are so cute together, and get along so well. Hayden loves to snuggle and give her loves and Hadley totally puts up with it.
This is the first morning after the "broken binky" it was also Valentines day so I made pancakes. Needless to say the whip cream and berries disappeared but the pancakes were untouched. He is turning into such a picky eater! (side note, Dad was in charge of PJ's that night so he has on PJ bottoms and his dirty shirt from the night before!)
My sweet little misses! She is showing more of her personality and very passive I love it. How can you not love those dimples? And the fact that she starting sleeping through the night at 5 weeks and this week (8 weeks) she sleep through the night every night! OH heavenly!
Hayden loves helping sis get all buckled up!
Dan and I made it to the 4th and final Dental ball last weekend. The Mandiball was so fun. What is not fun about pretending you are in high school, getting all dressed up and making a fool out of yourself on the dance floor! Dan is been in school so long that it is hard to believe that Dental school is so close to coming to an end. We have made friends for life here in Ohio and its so sad to realize we are going to be all split up and all over the country in just a few months! I hope we will find some more wonderful people in Florida, and keep in touch with the strong bonds we have made here!

Hadley is starting to have little chubby cheekers, she has a long way to catch up to Lukes jowels though. She is so cute, that flower is darling. Oh to have a girl! I miss my Hayder boy. I can't believe Dan is almost done, he is starting to look more Dr. like (or is he just looking older? J/k). Miss you lots!!!
Holly, your kids are darling. Hayden is looking like such a little boy now, instead of a baby/toddler. And Hadley, what cute cheeks and double chin! You did good!
Your kids are ADORABLE!! I am so glad that the binki ordeal wasn't too bad. It definately is well worth it once it's over and done with. I love your family and am so happy for your guys!!
