Tonight was a big night at the Grant house, the nuky fairy came and took all of Josie's nukys to the babies that need them. I have been talking to Josie about the nuky fairy at bed time and telling her that soon the nuky fairy would come to our house and take all Josie's nukys to give to other babies that didn't have any. The first few times I mentioned this she quickly decided that she was not a big girl and that she still needed her nukys. Then tonight as I was putting her to bed we were done reading her bedtime story and Josie turned to me and said "Mommy, I ready for the nuky fairy to come today." I was shocked, if you know Josie you know she loves her nukys. She has only had them at nap time and bedtime for a while now, but as soon as it's time to go to bed it is the first thing that she asks for. I was hoping to wait until the weekend because I was expecting tears and sleepless nights, but she insisted that she was ready tonight. So we gathered up all of Josie's nukys, there were a lot of them, put them in a box and left them in the kitchen for the nuky fairy to come and take them away.
She did get out of bed twice, once I put her back to bed and reminded her about the nuky fairy leaving her a present after she fell asleep and she asked a lot of questions and when she was satisfied I left her with her hockey Goldy and said goodnight. The next time she got out of bed she went to Daddy, she knows he's the softy! He took her back to bed and she told him "I just need one nuky." Daddy was tough and told her that she has to give them all to the nuky fairy. I was almost as proud of Brian as I was of Josie at this point. That was the last that we heard from Josie tonight. I went to check on her at 9:3o and she was fast asleep laying across her pillows.
I was very proud of Josie for deciding on her own that she was ready to give up her nukys, but at the same time I am a little sad to see my little girl grow up.
