hi. so we are finally going to bite the bullet and do what we should have done a long time ago - take our 5 year olds dummy away. we're going to do a dummy fairy thing with a little letter and small gifts each morning with something bigger after a week or so. what we can't decide on is if we take it in the middle of the night one night without warning (leaving a note) or if we do a little note a few days before so it doesn't come as a huge shock. she is really really attached to it so we're really nervous about the whole thing - and feel a bit cruel to take it away if i'm being honest. any tips on what has worked for other parents would be great!
