The Paci Fairy

Avery and Emerson got a visit from the Paci Fairy this weekend and I am happy to say that they have given up their pacifiers and it could not have been easier!  I came up with the idea of the Paci Fairy while at work Friday afternoon.  I thought it would take a few days of Justin and me talking about it with the girls before we could implement it successfully.  Well I was wrong…it literally took five minutes!  I brought the idea up to the girls just before they were going to bed Friday evening.  It was so preliminary that I hadn’t even discussed it with Justin yet.  I told them big girls don’t use paci’s and asked them if they wanted to be big girls and give their paci’s away to the little babies.  They said yes right away so we went with it.  We immediately grabbed a zip lock baggie and took turns placing their pacifiers in it.  We sealed it tight and then all walked to the front door where we placed the bag outside for the Paci Fairy to come get during the middle of the night.  The girls said they wanted the Paci Fairy to bring them balloons…something that the Paci Fairy could easily handle I’m sure.  The girls went to bed with no problem and slept through the night no problem.  They were excited when they woke up to see that the Paci Fairy had not only brought them each a balloon, but also play-doh.  The girls each asked for their pacifiers a few times over the weekend, but once they were reminded that they gave them away to the Paci Fairy, they were fine!  Seriously, I am still amazed at how easy it was!  I’m hoping potty training is this easy!
