The Paci Fairy is Coming!!

After a week of telling Ava that the Paci Fairy was coming, the day has finally arrived. We've been wanting to break her of her pacifier for ages now but it was time...seeing as she is 2 1/2 yrs old and she started taking a new interest in it. Have to nip that in the bud now.

So the Paci Fairy story basically goes something like this, "Ava, the Paci Fairy is going to come this week. We'll get all your pacis together and the Paci Fairy will come and take them to babies who need them and she'll leave you a BIG PRESENT. Do you want a BIG PRESENT? She'll take your pacis forever and leave you a BIG PRESENT."

Notice the emphasis on the big present. Also we repeated this to her a million times.

So here is Ava on her "paci hunt" finding all her pacis around her room/house.

Ava, being super proud that she found them all and setting them out for the Paci Fairy. So the night went without incident. She whined a little for her paci but was able to go to sleep and it really was not as bad as I thought it would be. Of course this is nighttime we are talking about and not naptime...should be interesting.
