We've been talking about the Binky Fairy for a long time and after much persuasion, Sadie was finally willing to give up her binkies. We told her that the Binky Fairy (hereafter known as B.F. not to be confused with B.F.F.) takes the binkies to other little babies that need them. In exchange, she would receive a gift. Next, we searched the toy isles of Fred Meyer to pick out the perfect present.
Sadie said she wanted:
1) candy (of course..she has a sweet tooth just like her mama and sniff it out just like a little truffle pig)
2) a strawberry shortcake
3) a small stuffed animal and
4) blanket to snuggle with.
5)and finally some lotion. (A true girl).
Sadie went down for her nap on the assigned day and left her binkies outside in a bag by the door. When all was quiet, I went upstairs to find Sadie sleeping peacefully with her blanket pulled over her mouth so I wouldn't see the binky that she had snuck out of the bag and was sleeping with very peacefully.
Binky Fairy: Take Two
The next day Sadie gave her binkies to Mommy who promptly put them where the BF could find them but out of Sadie's reach. It was a long ordeal for Sadie to finally fall asleep but when she awoke she was delighted to find:
1) a strawberry shortcake remote control car
2) a small webkin dog whom we named "pinky"
3) A blanket with fairies on it
4) candy of course
no lotion..I guess the BF didn't get that memo.
It was a hard few days of adjusting but with the removal of her afternoon nap she is now going to bed "well" at night.
Goodbye Binky we'll miss you.... Goodbye afternoon nap....we'll miss you even more!
