I had a family that had a 3 yr old that came everyday with 6 soothers .... One in his mouth and the other 5 on his fingers like rings .... Yuk .... Anyway he knew he was not allowed them here and he put them in his bag and it really wasn't an issue but they are gone now and I have a new family also with a 3 yr old and lo and behold after being here for about two months he walks in with a soother in his mouth .... Well I'm sure my jaw dropped because the mom turned around and said oh I forgot to leave that in the car ..... About a week later the dad picked up and I heard the dad saying to the kid "if you give up your soother I'll buy you a four wheeler" ..... Are you freaking kidding me..... So I chimed in abd asked the dad if he knew about the "soother fairy". Dad said no so I told him the boy puts his soother in a big gift bag and they put it on the front porch and thru the night the soother fairy comes and takes the soother and leaves a nice toy however she doesn't have four wheelers but I'm sure she has a nice tonka truck or something" .... Dad was so happy to learn of the soother fairy and said she would be visiting soon and she did!!!!!
