So the dummy fairy is coming today....

[Beach Mama]

wish us luck and tear free sleep please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been working Iz up because her dummy has a hole and I told her a week or so ago that if it got too big it was going to have to go in the bin, last night I said that is IT!!!, it's going but asked her if she would like to give it to the dummy fairy who might be able to fix it and give it to the baby's who need it much more. She agreed although she might be secretly thinking the fairy will fix it and return it to her!

I've told her because she is so grown up that she can choose a grown up girl toy (talking Dora backpack is her toy of choice) and I might get a little sneaky something from the fairy.

Ugh - not looking forward to nap time right now but it's time!

Good Luck... although if she has agreed to give it to the dummy fairy and is receiving a big girl toy, she may be happy to part with it without issue (or at least not too many )

Good luck and I hope it goes smoothly!
I just told DS about 6 months ago that I couldn't find him a dummy when he went down for a day sleep one day, and he went to sleep with no fuss and has not asked for one since. Was super easy... I thought he was going to be one of those kids who was totally addicted but he was fantastic about it.
Here's hoping it's the same for you

Good luck!
The bottle fairy came and took DD2's bottle from her last week. So far so good.

Thanks for the positive stories ladies! Whenever I say wow you are so big, lets get ready to go and get your gift and say bye bye to your dummy she just looks at me, contemplating but hasn't cracked it, so far so good. I lie down with her for her day sleeps to get her to go down so that will help today and I think I will buy her a new little fairy dolly to take with her for sleep time.

Good luck Tan - hopefully it will be easier than you expect! We had about a month of asking/ minor meltdowns wanting the dummy but we just gave lots of cuddles and reinforced that she is a big girl now and dummies are for babies... we went away last weekend and since then the D-word has not been mentioned once! And it is really nice to hear her talking all the time and see her sleeping without a dummy in her mouth. Fingers crossed for a tantrum free visit from the dummy fairy for you!
