[quote=Anonymous]My daughter voluntarily gave hers up about 3 months after her third birthday.  We talked about it for a long time beforehand, how she was a big girl, and didn't need it anymore, and how we would wait for her to tell us when she was ready to give it to the paci fairy to give to a new baby.  We talked about the paci fairy with the dentist when she went for her first appointment at 3.  She selected the toy she wanted the paci fairy to bring (a ride-on digger like the neighbor has).  We watched the Elmo Good Bye Pacifier video more times than I can count.  And every morning for about 6 months, she'd wake up and say "I'm a big girl, I don't need the paci any more"  And then at nap and/or bed time she'd say "I'm not ready to give up my paci."  Until one day she really was ready.  And that was that.  No tears.  She never asked for it again.  Like one of the PPs, it was the end of the naps, which was sad, and now has a harder time relaxing by herself in bed if she's not quite ready to fall asleep, but we were glad to bid farewell to the paci.  Her baby brother is giving his up when he turns 1![/quote]
