There is no picture to accompany this. We watch the Super Nanny every once in a while, mostly just to make us feel like excellent parents, and also to remind us to make Ethan swiffer, take his plate, and not turn into a brat.
So JoJo the super nanny told a kid last week that Penelope the Pacifier Fairy needed all his pacifiers and that he should leave them in the mailbox, then he would find a nice prize in the mailbox the next morning. Sure! Great! We're ready.
I glitter up an envelope, we make a big deal out of it... Penelope wrote him a letter asking for his pacifiers for all the new babies, this is how it went down:
Me: Blah blah blah.. "so go find all your pacifier and we'll put them in Penelope's envelope"
Him: But I don't want to
Me: Oh, but all those babies need them, and Penelope will leave you a cool prize in the morning
Him: Nope (Takes all the pacifiers, runs to his room, then comes out with each one in his mouth and says "NOPE!" ... there were 3 trips)
8:30 pm "Mom, I'm ready now for Canelpeepee"
8:35 Pacifiers are sealed and in the mailbox
9:30 pm "Go get my paci out of the mailbox!!!" The flag is still up" Go get it!!"
I was strong! I did not go get those pacifiers. Penelope had already taken them, she had flown away! Now all we could do was wait for our prize!
8:00 am Received three suckers and a Miami Dolphins jersey. Score. Worth it.
8:00 pm today: " I wonder what Canelpeepee will bring tonight?"

This is so reminiscent of Ryan's pacifier exchange with Santa Claus. Christmas Eve we left all the pacis under the tree in exchange for presents from Santa on Christmas morning. Everything's cool. Christmas night, Ryan was willing to exchange all the cool gifts for just one paci.
Robyn never had too much an issue with pacis....she was always too busy talking. Thanks, E.. for sharing these fun stories. We love you all.

Ah, at least you have a pacifier to exchange. It's gonna be hard to separate Emily from her thumb. Oh well, baby steps, baby steps.
