For the past few months i have been slowly seperating Emily from her dummy and managed to get her to leave it in bed, she only had it if she was on her way to bed/nap or if she was poorly and feeling misrable and i told her if she nagged me for it throughout the day i might have to consider throwing them away all together.
So anyway last week she pushed me a bit too far and started doing an Annie impression screaming the house down for her dummy so i lost my rag and threw them in the bin (little did she know i took them out again when she wasnt looking just incase i wasnt strong enough to stick to my guns)
She moaned and got upset when bedtime came but didnt cause too much trouble so i decided to make her a reward chart with 7 days and told her if she filled all the boxes with stars she would get a big girl slide for the back garden!
She was very excited about it and even more determined to fill the chart and i was just as excited as her as i have been wanting to get her a big slide for ages!
Well she filled the chart, i spent days trawling the internet trying to find the right one without joy and gave in and decided to take her to toys r us to look at them and all she wanted was the little one! It was even smaller than her toddler slide she already has! It kinda burst my bubble, i had been dieing to see her face light up when she saw the big ones and get all excited about it hahaha
We went home without one...
So today i went back to the store and picked out a 6ft wavey pink one and bought it without her knowing and even though she was adament she didnt want a big slide yesterday, when she saw it was pink changed her mind!
She was a bit scared to go down at first but after 50 odd slides i had hell on getting her to come in to bed! hahaha
I know i will be getting nagged as soon as she opens her eyes in the morning!
