the binky wars

Lula still gets her pacifier when she sleeps... naps and night time only... otherwise the binky stays in the crib. Lately she has become obsessed with having it all the time. She "sneaks it" and then runs and hides so she can use it without me knowing. I usually try to keep it in the middle of the crib back against the wall because her little arms are unable to reach it. However the other day as I am trying to put laundry away... she got creative.  This is what I hear from her room, "mom I'm gonna use my net to get my binky." I'm like, okay sure Lula, go for it; obviously I'm thinking she has no chance of accomplishing this goal so what's the harm in letting her try. Well then I hear, "mom! I got it!" I walk in to find this...

It was so cute and she was so proud. I reminded her that binkies are "catch and release" only, but she wasn't buying it. She kept it for a little while until I distracted her and hid it somewhere a little more secure.
