The Binky Fairy!


So the binky fairy came to visit on Wednesday night. For those of you who don't know the concept. You gather up all your binkies (pacifiers) put them in a special bag and set them out for the binky fairy to come and get them. She takes them and gives them to all the babies in the world that need binkies. Then she leaves a special surprise in the bag for you in the morning.

Well this sounds like a super idea and your kid goes along with it until she gets into bed and asks for her binky. Then she throws a freaking tantrum when you tell her they are gone. Then after an hour or so of screaming and fighting she finally falls asleep only to wake up at 1:30am screaming for a binky!! It has been a couple of days now and she finally gets the concept that they are for babies and she doesn't ask for it, but she's still being a pain in the butt about going to bed. Although she has been more difficult to get to bed lately anyway. So hopefully by next week she stops waking up in the middle of the night and Matt and I can finally get some sleep again.
Oh, Emma got a travel aqua doodle, a princess crown with some matching jewelry and an elephant webkinz. Ella also got a hippo webkinz. She doesn't use binkies but there was 1 small sized binky left so we put it in too. We also have been collecting hippo's for Ella and elephant's for Emma and when the fairy saw both of them together at the store she just had to get them for the girls.

sorry the fairy idea didn't work. Ayd broke his paci a couple months back and we told him, "it's broken throw it in the garbage." He did and it actually went well and he hasn't asked for it since. I'm sure she'll get over it soon though.
