I know I have said I would do this earlier but just never did.

Bought Adam a lovely flashing lights toothbrush on Saturday and took his dummy away. Told him that a poor wee baby has no dummy and needed his and he can have the toothbrush for being such a kind boy.

He was fine but 30 mins after he had gone to bed, the heartbreak started. It was horrible listening to him but we stuck to our guns and didn't give in. Sunday night was better, but he is still whimpering in the wee hours for about 20 mins asking for it. I'm staying strong though and not giving in. He is cranky through the days but we will get there in the end.

Dead proud of him !!!

Aw well done you, Wev'e had a dummy fairy come in the night and got it down to 1. A few days later she'd got another, now she has found another. God nows were she has them hidden I have sorted the whole house out and took toys to mums to declutter as we are selling, she definately has a secret stash somewhere.
