Euphoric !
Oh the weaning off of sleep time soothers is the worst - I too cringe at the thought of upsetting the sleep time apple cart so to speak and having to listen to 'screaming' protests - but they generally do it way easier for US that at home anyway!
Congratulations on her quick wean off of it!!!
Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

Thanks!! Let see how long it'll last for though LOL since I don't think the parents have the strength to NOT give in and she's plays them like no tomorrow. I let mom know via text that she didn't CRY but was sulky and is sleeping, hopefully she will see that it CAN be done.

When I move them from playpen to sleep mat the soother, blankie whatever does not transition. Big kids don't need them for sleep so if you want to be with the big kids then leave them in the playpen. I used to allow one stuffy for nap till I had to intervene in a stuffy toss one naptime and that was it - you are here to sleep not play.

You are patient! I weaned my 16 month old and 17 month old daycare children off their naptime soothers months ago! However, my two 4 year olds always bring a cuddle to sleep with every day, hehe, but they have to stay in their backpacks until naptime then go back in there as soon as naps are done.

Honestly the parents are horrible! They baby her to NO-END it's sad....I'm starting to teach her to put on her shoes or to dress herself or put on her coat....((sigh))
Guess what I found out today....this 3 YEAR OLD still gets a bottle in the early morning!!! A BOTTLE!!!! WTF??? And she apparently has 4 suckies in her bed....plus she always has a receiving blanket AND a bunny to sleep!!! I'm going nuts...right away when she arrives I put all three items on the stairs and say "its for nap time only" She doesn't protest.
Right now I only have 2 dck so they sleep in playpens...if I had (and will be next month) a baby then the oldest gets booted out and into a sleep mat. That will be her and by then I will NOT allow a suckie....I'm debating on the bunny.
This is also my bad eater....she's a sweetheart but my DD who is 27months tomorrow is more independent and she's behind compared to her peers. It's frusterating I tell ya's!

Yes, I hear you! My 2 year old boy's Dad let it slip last week that he still lets his son have his soother and he hasn't needed it here in almost a year. So what did I do? Go right down in the face of the little boy and say, J, that is so very bad for your teeth! Haha, I'm a b**ch! Subliminal parental messages work sometimes, grrrrrrrr. I don't care about blankets & cuddles, but soothers and bottles mean bacteria on the teeth and deformed teeth!
