DS1 is 2.5 and has always had a dummy for naps and bedtime although hadn't had a dummy at nursery for over a year and naps fine there. I've not wanted to tackle getting rid at home as we has DS2 earlier this year so didn't want to rock the boat. However since he turned 2 we have causally mentioned the dummy fairy every so often. He's always been very resistant to the idea so we didn't push it but yesterday out of the blue said to me and his nursery key worker when I collected him about wanting a present from the dummy fairy. So we decided to strike while the iron is hot, discussed it last night, he said what present he would want and this morning we left the dummies for the fairy in the garden and gave her a call to collect them.
I've bought a card and the present (teddy) that he asked for and will show him them when he's back. Although now I'm seriously doubting myself and worried he's going to be distraught. I flip between thinking he's too little and what's the harm to thinking we've got to do it sometime and it's easier now when he's appeared amenable and we don't have anything much going on so can concentrate on getting him through this. I can't go back as his dummies are now in the outside bin, I knew if they were in the house I would give in.
Sorry, just want a handhold really I think.
