The Bottle Fairies

Neive is 2 yars old and 5 months now and we've decided that she's to give up the bottle now before it starts damaging her teeth. Neive loves her bottle of milk before she goes to bed and we knew she wouldn't give it up without a fight.


So I was watching a supernanny episode were this toddler had to give up a dummy and hung it outside to a tree and the fairies came and took it away. Thus relinquishing mum and dad of any responsibility. This sounded like a perfect win win. A magical power takes away the bottle then she can't blame us and as it was fairies mum and dad can't bring it back. Of course we are a pair of softies so thought that this fairy couldn't be too mean and not even leave a present in return for these bottles. So last Saturday we tied up the bottles in pretty ribbon and hung them from her swing in the back garden. The next day they left a giant sized mekano set where Neive can build cars, robots, wheel barrows and her all time favourite a shopping trolley.
