As you know,

Super Coop turned 3 last week.

And in the grand Fitzpatrick tradition.

It was time to say goodbye to the bink via the Binky Fairy.

After quite a few tears…

Coop has held up like a champ.

Here he is proudly displaying his gift from the Binky Fairy.

Not familiar with the Binky Fairy?

Check out how we roll…

Bye Bye Binkies!

On each Fitzpatrick boys 3rd birthday the fateful day arrives.  

The day the Binky Fairy comes to town.  

Now it’s a simple enough idea.  By three years old you’ve had your binky long enough and it’s time to send it off to another deserving little boy or girl who doesn’t have a binky.  

We start prepping the story long enough in advance that everyone is well versed and knows what is expected of them.  

Doesn’t mean it goes off without a hitch though…

So first the brave little three year old must gather up said binks…

Now you must gather up balloons left over from the joyous birthday celebration of the day…and attach all binkies to the end.

Now be brave young warrior and offer up your binkies to the Binky Fairy in a sacrifice of great importance.

See the Binky Fairy lives in the land of Stufftakorkenett when she oversees the production of the rare Binky Tree.  

The Binky Tree needs brave little boys and girls to surrender their own binkies to be planted in vast valleys where they grow into Binky Tree orchards.

There the Binky Fairy watches over them to protect them from the dreaded monster…Chuzetollup

Chuzetollup never rests and is constantly on the prowl looking for binkies and toys to chew all up.  

If the Binky Fairy is successful, and success only comes from the strength of little boys and girls who don’t cry without their binkies, then the Binky Trees can grow big and strong by morning.

 And when the tree is grown it flowers into wonderful toys that will be returned by the Binky Fairy as a thank you to the foot of brave children’s beds.

So be strong young warriors and surrender the binks.  Make the sacrifice and good fortune will be yours…

What brave boys they were….

I think I’d rather have my binky.
