Remember Kory got a dog (Scruffy) when he gave up his dummy?  ( See here if not! ) Well this is Curly, Krystal's sheep with her dummy inside.  Her story is rather different to Kory's though.  With him, he was built up to the dummy going, and accepted it along with the bribery.

Krystal however, gave up her dummy without a word.  In fact she didn't even notice!  It had always been attached to her sleeping bag, so when the weather started to get colder we said she could have her quilt on her bed to make a big girls bed.  The day we did it, I said to James that we could try just not giving her dummy to her and see if she asked for it.  She didn't!  In fact she never mentioned it, just accepting it was on her bag. 

It was 2.5 months before she did mention it, in Asda and saw dummies on the shelf.  She said "oh look, a dummy.  I don't have a dummy, they're for babies and I'm a big girl" and that was that!

In the past she had known about Kory's Scruffy and said when she was a big girl she'd like a sheep with a dummy in.  So I thought that despite the fact she did it without a fuss, she deserved to get her one too.  So yesterday we went into town and did it.  True to her word she chose a sheep and wouldn't be swayed.  She's called her Curly.

They both also got Santa hats for them - Kory has recently been playing with his a lot and took him to Mums last weekend too.  I have to say they look cute, but the whole "buying clothes for teddies" is not something I want to start! 

So now I have 2 big kids with nothing baby left!  Yay!
