When The Dummy Fairy Came To Visit

intro

In this blog I am delighted to hand over to our dear Fairy Friend, Charlotte. Charlotte was keen to use her Fairy Door to help her little girl give up her Dummy. In her own words she is going to share with us the enchanting story of when the Dummy Fairy came to visit ...

When the dummy fairy came to visit

Recently, the Dummy Fairy came to visit my daughter

Florence is two years old. She has been extremely fond of her dummy since the day she arrived. I knew there would come a time when she would have to part with them and that time was a few months ago. So the Dummy Fairy came to visit and to, ever so kindly, take her dummies for the baby fairies.

To start with I introduced the Fairy Door

The Fairies had left Florence a letter in the Fairy Post Box introducing themselves which I read to her. I explained that the Fairies are magic and when you are sleeping they come and visit through the magical Fairy Door.

Lots of beautiful questions followed about the Fairies

“Will I be able to see them?” “Can they come and play with me?”

Such beautiful childhood innocence!

I gently explained to Florence that the Fairies are really shy, so they visit us when you are sleeping. Before the Dummy Fairy came to visit, I made sure that I kept talking to Florence about the Fairies visiting through the Fairy Door.

For many weeks I explained that very soon the Dummy Fairy would come to visit because the baby Fairies needed her dummies

I told Florence that she had such a very important job to do.  She must collect all her dummies and leave them as a present for the baby Fairies.

My little girl is so chatty and randomly she would start talking about the Fairies visiting and that the baby Fairies needed her dummies. I took that to be a positive sign.

So I decided to take the leap and start the magic

The Dummy Fairy came to visit through the Fairy Door. She left a beautiful little basket with a tiny note inside. It told Florence all about the baby Fairies needing her dummies and that she was such a big girl, and that if she gifted her dummies to the baby Fairies then they would leave a surprise in return.

That night after bath and a story, Florence took my hand and we went round the house collecting all her dummies

She then put them in the basket and closed it. My heart was aching for her as I knew how much she loved them but they really did have to go. I told her, that I was so proud of her and that the Dummy Fairy would be so pleased. I suggested it was best that we went to bed now so that the Dummy Fairy could come and visit whilst we slept.

Then the penny dropped that the dummies were actually going

I'm not sure up until that moment that the finality of it all was understood. She burst in to tears and said “I don't want the baby fairies to have my dummies!” With lots of kisses and cuddles she went off to bed.

Now I would be lying if I said it was completely smooth sailing that night, because it wasn't. She was crying and kept shouting she wanted her dummies for a good couple of hours. We kept going in and reassuring her that she would be fine and in the morning we would see if the Dummy Fairy had left her something. It eventually went all quiet and with only two moments of calling out in the night the morning came.

The first thing Florence said to me was, “has the Dummy Fairy been?”

And of course, she had! In exchange, she had left Florence a little letter, a certificate and a lovely wooden toy coffee machine with cups and saucers. She saw that they had visited, I read her the little letter and the certificate and she was absolutely delighted with the surprise they had left her. She kept telling me all morning that the baby Fairies have her dummies now and that she was a big girl. She even went into pre school that morning telling her teachers all about the Fairies visiting.

You could really sense just how proud she was of herself

It was lovely to see. But I did wonder though, just how the next night would be.

Bedtime came round again, and of course Florence like any two year old asked if she could have her dummy. I gently explained that the baby Fairies had them, now she was a big girl. Florence then went on to tell me all about them and that they had bought her a coffee machine.

A GIFT FROM THE DUMMY FAIRY

That night and all the nights after that she has been sleeping soundly without her dummy

The Dummy Fairy method is truly magical and just marvellous. With very little stress and upset we no longer have dummies in our house and my little girl is growing up so fast. I am so proud of her for giving her dummies to the baby Fairies and taking it all her stride. As a Mother words can't explain how much I would recommend the Dummy Fairy coming to pay a visit in a household where dummies are no longer needed.

When the Dummy Fairy came to visit was a truly magical and lovely way of making something that could be so stressful into something fun

This method allows your child to be part of the decision and process. It gives them a sense of pride about growing up and accepting change. It's just perfect. The Fairies are now permanent residents in our home and I just can't wait for them to visit Florence again to create some more wonderful and beautiful magic!
