Pacifier Fairy

The twins had their first dental cleaning today and the dentist told us we needed to get rid of the pacifiers immediately because the sucking was causing the roof of their mouths to narrow. The twins only use the pacifiers to sleep so I am a little worried that I will be up multiple times tonight.

After dinner we decorated an envelope and the twins put their pacis inside. We took it out to the mailbox and "mailed" it to the paci fairy. In return, the paci fairy left gifts in their room! The twins each got a sock monkey and fruit snacks and Rylee got a small My Little Pony toy and Parker got a small Mater to the Tow Truck toy.

Both did very well with the adjustment. They asked for a paci a few times and we reminded them that we gave them all to the paci fairy and they seemed ok with it. When they went to bed Rylee cried/whined for about 10-15 minutes, but both are now sleeping! It went way easier than I was expecting. Lets hope it stays that way all night!

I wish there was a thumb sucking fairy!! She only does it to go to sleep at night as well, but the dentist did say that she can tell that she does. Nothing too bad, but just something to be aware of she said. We've told her that when she turns three, it has to stop. Big girls in big girl beds can't suck their thumb! She promises she'll stop when she turns three :) Oh and PS, I finally updated my blog!
