The Pacifier Fairy has visited our home!

Well, we weren't as lucky as we thought we were. After 3 days, Lacy finally realized that her beloved pacifiers were missing from her bed and she let me know. She cried and cried for them until I decided it was time to have the pacifier fairy talk. I got her out of bed and we got the pacifiers out and we talked about how all the babies need the paa paa's and how she is a big girl now who sleeps in a big girl bed and doesn't need them. She was all excited at first but then when we took them outside and LEFT them for the pacifier fairy, she was not happy.
I had to hang out in her room and rub her back a little today and she finally calmed down and went to sleep. I had promised that the Pacifier Fairy would bring something special. Wasn't sure yet what I was going to do about that until I remembered Garalene was out and about. I called and asked if she could come sit here while I ran to Walgreens and grabbed a Princess cup that Lacy had her eye on last time we were there. She was going to come until her kids called and needed her home so I improvised and she got a balloon (left from the bday party and still with enough helium to float), a letter, some candy from the pantry and two dollars to go and buy the cup herself.
When she got up she was pretty excited to see what the pacifier fairy had left. We went Walgreens on the way to gymnastics and the cup she wanted was not there anymore but she got a Princess book and a Princess light-up-spinnning-Easter egg thingy. She has been looking at her letter a lot and pointing and naming all the babies that got her pacifiers. Hopefully it works and we are back to a non crying nap/bedtime before no time!!
