Trying to give up dummies....

Well we had this idea that it was time Isobel gave up her dummies. She starts school in September and although I'm not really too fussed as Katherine was at school and still had a dummy, she used to leave it in her bed for night time lol!

I got her an Argos catalogue to look through and to choose something that she'd like in place of her dummies. Her first choice was a raised wooden playhouse that was fabulous but £329!!

In the end she settled for a battery powered motorbike at £39.99. So we went to bed last night and had a story about a little rat who struggled to give up his dummy but when he had slept 4 nights without it he got his new toy!

She tried really hard, we had lots of tears and I told her it was up to her, she said she wanted her dummy and the new toy but I said she couldn't. She tried so hard to be brave but she couldn't do it so we said we'd try again tonight.

Well today she's seen something she'd like more than a motorbike and it's a wooden rocking rabbit for £20! It's getting cheaper all the time!

She's collected her dummies up and given them to me so we'll see what tonight brings!
