Binki Fairy aka Tinkerbell

Hallie is almost 4 years old and still has her binki at night time. I watched Super Nanny a couple nights ago and she let us know that 4 was too old for a binki. I have always known that but it has been her only thing that she is attached to and I didn't have the heart to take it from her. But Super Nanny gave me hope!!
I told Hallie that there was a binki fairy who comes to get the binkies from girls who are big now and gives them to little babies who need them and then leaves a surprise in return for the binkies. I got an envelop out and told her when she was ready to give up her binki then we would mail them to the binki fairy. She surprised me and ran and got both her binkies and put them right into the envelop. I put the fairies address on it and Hallie put it outside our door. She then watched out the window for the next hour watching for "Tinkerbell" to come get her binkies. I had a neighbor come take the envelop from our door step. She was even more excited when she saw that it was gone.
The excitement got to her and she couldn't wait for Tinkerbell to bring the surprise so we had to call Tinkerbell and find out what she was doing. So we called her (aka Aunt Kensi) ! When Hallie put the phone up to her ear she was so overcome with excitement she had to sit down. It was hilarious. Thanks Kensi for being Tinkerbell for us!
The best part was that it worked. She went to bed without her binki and hasn't even asked for it. Oh, and Tinkerbell did come and leave a surprise for her!
