Max and his Binkie

This photo tells a lot about Max and his relationship with his binkie (pacifier). For about 6 months now, Max is only allowed a binkie when he is in bed for nap or at night. He sleeps with at least 3 of them in his crib, and alternates them like they are flavored suckers.

Whenever things get suspiciously quiet during the day, we know that Max has sneaked into his room and absconded one of his binkies from his crib. Knowing it is against the rules, he usually hides and enjoys a good "suck" until we discover his ploy.

Usually, he goes into his room and shuts the door for a little more privacy and security. Then, as soon as he hears the door handle jiggle, he literally HUCKS his pacifier into the crib, and quickly finds another inconspicuous and innocent employment.

Today, however, Geoff found him in the book box, secreted behind the rocking chair--nice and snug with of course his binkie in hand. This time he was a little too cozy and content (maybe even a little stuck) to even try to pretend he didn't have his binkie!!!

What a guy. I sure hope he doesn't ever get addicted to cigarettes!
