By the subject of the topic you probably thought I was talking about Mason,WRONG! Avery was a little addicted to her pacifier. When she turned one we told her that she could only have her bink during nap time and bed time. Then we were going to slowly take it away. Well we never took it away completely. So a couple of months ago I was talking to Avery and told her that it might be a good idea to give her bink to Santa and he would give her a special present. So for the past couple of months if you asked Avery about Santa all she would say was, “Avery give her bink to Santa”. I didn’t want Christmas day to be a disaster from not getting any sleep due to no pacifier. So at the beginning of December we wrote a special letter to Santa and mailed it off along with her pacifier. The next day Santa wrote back and left a special gift on Averys bed. Here are the pictures of the whole adventure!
Letter written and bink attached getting ready to go drop it off in the mailbox.
If she knew that she really wasn’t going to see her bink again I don’t think she would be smiling!
The next day checking to see if Santa wrote back. He did!!
Santa said that his reindeer Prancer was really enjoying playing with her pacifier.
Avery opening her present that was left by Santa on her bed.
The whole transition went pretty smoothly. The first day during nap time she cried for about 45 min. Then that night at bed time she cried for about 30 min. She kept asking for her bink and we would kindly remind her that she sent it to Santa. One time she told me we needed to go get her bink out of the mailbox. The second day she cried for about 15 min. By day three she had stopped asking for it. Kids learn pretty darn quick!

lol I don't miss that process:) although it sounds like it went much smoother for you:) Parker wasn't old enough though yet to make up a story which was probably much nicer to her! I felt really mean when we took Parker's away because he just didn't understand, but knowing Parker if we had waited until we had Bridger he'd be stealing his all the time:) I'm glad it went so smooth for you!
