Broken

Corbin has been so easy to deal with.  The only thing that we have had a problem with is his binki.  I wouldn't call it a problem.  He would only have it in his bed or in his carseat on long trips.  The problem occurred that Corbin learned to climb into his bed specifically so he could have his binki.  Two week ago, I had enough and decided to cut up the binki in front of him.  All other binkis were placed out of sight.  He realized that the binki was no longer any good and went about his way.  Since then, he's had only one melt-down about the binki.  He has asked for the binki, but now says "binki broken."  I think we held onto the binki more for me than for him, but we are luckily now to be past that phase. 

At the same time, Corbin has learned to climb out of his crib along with learning to climb in.  He will randomly run up to his crib and climb in just to play and show off.  The funny thing is, he will wake up from a nap or from the night's sleep and wait for us to come get him out.  Jeremy and I will walk into the room and tell him to climb out, but he won't get out unless told to do so.

The other day while working, the babysitter came down and asked about when to put Corbin down for a nap.  While asking, Corbin decided for himself.  He ran up to the Pack N Play and climbed in and wouldn't come out.  A few minutes later, he was fast asleep.
