One of my buddies at the Y, Leslie, (props, Girl!) came up with an awesome idea. She has two precious little girls that were stuck, literally, to their pacifiers. So, when she felt the time was upon her to get rid of those suckers (seriously, no pun intended), she took her little one to the Build-a-Bear workshop. Her oldest was in school, so she chose the bear for her and will let her pick out clothes for it later. They had a ceremony to say farewell to Binkie. They selected the bears and then kissed Binkie and hid it inside the stuffing of "Binkie Bear". I'm sure you can make a "Bottle Bear" or "Blankie Bear". Do you think I can make an "ESPN Bear"? Just joking, Honey! Kind of.
