Paci Fairy

Well we have had a visit from the Paci Fairy. She actually came last Sunday, but I waited to post this to see how the pacifier free week went. About two weeks ago, Emma and I were discussing giving all of the pacis to new little babies who needed them, and she was immediately on board. She gave up her paci that night, and has never asked for it again. I thought of it as a bit of practice. We talked about collecting up all of the pacis and putting them out for the Paci Fairy, and the Paci Fairy leaving a toy in return. We tried to get buy-in from Elle, but she was not near as interested. On Sunday Emma and I started loading up all of her pacis into a brown bag, and Elle started throwing hers in too. So, a bit skeptical, since she was so resistant, I made her a bag too. She collected all of hers up too. We even checked under their beds, to make sure we got them all. Elle made sure to remind me that her favorite pink paci was to be given to Dylan and Ryan's soon to be baby brother Aydan. She actually still talks about that. I'm sure Aydan's dad JD is going to love the gift of a pink paci! Below is the girls with their bag of pacis!

We took the bags outside to the front porch for the Paci Fairy. We thought this would make it easy for her to pick them up. Emma hid hers behind the pumpkin! I was a bit scared it might stump the Paci Fairy.

The Paci Fairy left each of the girls a Dora Doll. The girls absolutely love them! And they have both been paci free at our house for a week. Elle did sucker Gram into giving her a paci for a few minutes at her house when she was upset. Elle has not admitted it to me, but Gram did. Oh well, I guess the Paci Fairy will have to make a stop there too! Elle does love toys!
