Binkey Fairy Skirts


So I'm not sure if I told how Lily FINALLY gave up her binkies, so here it is. We were trying to get her to gather them up and put them in mailbox so that the 'binky fairy' could come bring her a special prize and take her binkies to the little babies who needed them. We got close a couple of times; like had the ziplock in hand on the way outside and she freaked, then we had them in the mailbox and I thought we were home-free but then when dad came home that night she wanted to show him and then had second thoughts and took them back out. Well finally, we had gotten down to her last binky (I have since found 2 more but threw them away before she found them) and we went out for the day, and when we came home we searched and searched but the final binky was no where to be found so we said, "Oh it looks like the binky fairy came by and grabbed your bink for the little babies and tonight while you're asleep she will leave your special prize in your room. Lucky for us my mom had already made Lily pink, blue and purple princess dress-up skirts, so we pulled those out and set them up in her room. Well she woke up LOVED the dress-ups and has been fine ever since. Sometimes she still asks about them but after I remind her about her trade for the skirts she is just fine.
