im trying to get connor to give up his awfu; dirty dodo during the day and hopefully at night as well but he just wont give it up! ive taken them away but he has a secret stasth hidden in his room somewhere. As soon as he comes home from preschool he hunts for his blankiew and of course with that he has to have his dodo!

anyone have any ideas as to how i get him to give it up?? not worried about blankie really dont wanna take away all his comforts it is just that dirty dodo
help!!!

tell him that there is a dodo fairy just like there is a tooth fairy etc and that she will leave him money or a present for all his dodo's?

Debs
01-11-2005, 20:42

My daughter Charley gave her bottle to Santa and her dummy to the easter bunny.. it works well..

help him write a letter to santa and get him to put the dodo in the envelope encouraging him that he is a big boy now and big boys don't need dodo's

I was quite mean with ci, debs - told him that he couldn't go to preschool if he still had his dummy because only big boys went to preschool - it worked though :lol: He kept his dummy for the night time for a bit after and then I conveniently lost them when it came to bed time and he didn't miss it after that - it was easier than i thought, but it was a case of making sure it was out of sight and there were none hidden anywhere that he could find!! Father Christmas is a good one though, like has been suggested. :)

And when they see all the ads on tv and its a constant "can i have that", all I need to say in reply is, you'll have to ask Father Christmas in your letter and see if he brings it. Which is great as within 10mins my youngest has forgotten all about it!

C was early at potty training (his choice) so he isnt yet 3 and has been out his nappy for a few weeks, he wakes up during the night and askes for a wee - I would say that is the real sign (for me) that he was ready to be out his pull up.

We have only had one accident since coming out of his pull-ups but thanks to a nice bed wetting pad from boots it was a quick clean up job in the morning.

this is so my attitude as well - It isnt seen as a medical issue that they are not dry (at night) until they are 5 or 6 so Con has ages to go yet!

:rotfl: I used to do that with Ci, he'd be at his stairgate going "can you let me out" and if I was half asleep he'd have to wait, but now he can open his stairgate himself, so he opens it, runs in our room and jumps on us (although today he didn't wake till 8.30 and then asked if he could have brekkie in bed, and has been upstairs watching nick jr in bed ever since lol)!!

God I must sound like an awful parent!! I'm not!!!

Not at all.. all parents need their lie in and will try everything to get it.. I usually just throw charley into the bed beside me in the hope that she will fall asleep again, even if only for 20 mins

wow a big boy bed - we are thinking about a midi sleeper for C too - although he *never* gets out of his bed in the morning, he sits in his bed shouting mummy time to get up, and waits till you go and pick him up........strange child!

Sigh these little ones are growing up too fast!!

Hate that part too.. and I still wake up sometimes even if Ben doesn't.. maybe habit...I had that for ages though, still got up during the night and normally used the bathroom, but then realised it was associated with when I used to get up in the night when Ci was tiny - I'd get up, feed him, go to the bathroom, then back to bed so force of habit made it so I still got up to the bathroom, just didn't need to feed him anymore....

He's got sky in his bedroom now aswell, so when he wakes up the first thing he wants to do before anything else is watch Dora!!
