I Hate This Tractor!
Reilly is three now, and we are warming him up to the idea of dropping the pacifier habit. He is big on dinosaurs right now, and we have discussed giving the pacifiers to the baby dinos.
Over the weekend my mother mentioned that she used a similar tactic with me - she gave me a toy tractor in exchange for the pacifiers. The first night, when I went to bed, the full weight of the trade I had made must have sunk in… She says I stayed in bed for ten minutes, then went into the living room, threw the tractor on the floor and emphatically said - “I hate this tractor.”
Then I went back to bed.
