UPDATE:
Well, it's been over a week. She's done so good. I can't even believe how good she's done. For someone who had to have 5+ binky's in her bed, one in her hand, one in her mouth. She's done pretty good. She asked for one yesterday, but again, I explained to her that they are all gone and she just said OK. My baby is growing up. I want to see her with a binky in her mouth so bad, that's the only thing that makes her a baby. But she's growing and I have to deal with it. Makes me wanna cry!
Friday morning I got Mazzy up to go to Deanie's. Just a normal day. Just like every morning, I told her to go to her room and get her binky and something to cuddle with at nap time. (Bunny was dirty) She told me she didn't want her binky and refused to take it. SO, I said OK and went on to take her to Deanie's. (I did put one in my pocket) When we got there, I told Deanie that she said she didn't want binky and to put her to bed without it. I gave her the one from my pocket just incase she cried for it.
I went to pick her up that evening and Deanie told me she didn't ask for it at all and slept like normal. Even with Brianna crying for hers, Mazzy still never asked for it. So Friday night I put her to bed, she asked for her binky but I told her that she told me she didn't want it anymore and they were all gone. She just looked at me so sad and said ok. She slept fine that night, she got up a few times, but finally went to sleep. She's gone the whole entire weekend without it and only cried for her binky twice. Both times I explained to her that she said she didn't want her binky anymore and they were gone. She thinks that they are in the trash. Really they are in a zip lock bag on top of the fridge. :-) I'm so proud of her. She did this herself, it was her decision, which makes it much easier. She's not had her binky since Thursday night, so it's totally gone. She's not getting it back! I refuse to give it to her. I know she'll cry a few more times for it but she'll eventually forget she even had one. My baby girl is growing up so fast. Getting rid of the binky really means she's not a baby anymore. Makes me sad, but happy at the same time.

Can Casey come and stay at your house for a few days? She does really good at Deanie's house, but I give in!! She still has it here. Clay had his until right before he turned 4. I am really going to try harder this summer. It is harder with her because I know we won't be having anymore children. This is her last phase of being little! :o( It is sad, but like you said you are happy when they are more independent.
