Yesterday the 'dummy fairy' took Harry's last dummy away in exchange for a matchbox car and some magnetix. I have been reluctant up until now to lose the dummy as I was unsure how he would deal with it as he was quite attached to it but I told myself a while ago that I was not going to buy him any new dummies and just let the one he had run its course. Well it was on it's last legs and ready for the bin so I decided to just do it, hence the arrival of the 'dummy fairy'. And....so far so good! He slept his very first night without the plug last night and he did very well. No big tantrums or upset, just a couple of little whimpers but I just reassured him and sat with him in his room for a while until he was relaxed and about to go to sleep and then I left him and he was fine! He seems to be ok with it and he loves his 'special' new toys and I am so relieved! I just hope tonight goes as well...Yay for my big boy!

Bon
