Last night, Riya's beloved "passie" went missing for the billionth time and we decided to see if the Passie Fairy might come visit her if she was willing to be a Big Girl and not sleep with it. We've been trying this for several months now but she always decides that she needs it. She is only allowed to have it at night, in her bed - and during nap time.
We were a little shocked when John said, "You don't need it, you are a big girl now" and she answered with, "I don't need it. I'm a big girl!"
She went to her bed and then started whimpering about needing it so I got out the Bye-Bye Pacifier book that she's read a million times and she didn't want me to read it but I did anyway. We told her about how the Passie Fairy might come and leave her something under her pillow if she can say goodbye to them for good. She giggled and agreed. She slept all night without it and woke up to find a dollar!! She decided to spend it on chocolate and so we did. :)
She then slept during nap time without it too!! Yea Riya!!!
PS - Seven years ago today, I was supposed to be due to have Jayden (I had a probable due date of January 18th but this day was my official due date)... did he come? Nope... stay tuned to see when he actually made his appearance. :)
That is a great idea. We finally took Sydney's a little over a month ago. I wasn't so worried about her having it, but Rebecca kept stealing it from her because of her nasty addiction. I cut it down the center and when she sucked it she said it was "broken" and decided to throw it in the garbage. I was shocked that she took it so well. (There were definitely some tears for a few nights though)
