Quitting tookies

Sophia turned 4 at the beginning of this month, but her annual check-up didn't happen until the end of the month. Dr. Ducky saw Sophia and then patted me and Tristan on the back for a job well done. I am proud to say that she is in the 90th percentile for height and the 50th percentile for weight, otherwise known as the Gilkey-stringbean physique. I really don't understand exactly how she does it considering she shuns most anything if it is not made from pork or deep-fried (i.e. "I want the chicken with the brown skin all-round it"). Everything did seem to be going well at the appointment until we told Dr. Ducky that Sophia is still using her tookie. The tookie had to stop. We have tried many times to get rid of the tookie, but I just can't say no to Sophia. One time we even decided to put the tookie under Sophia's pillow for the toothfairy to collect. The toothfairy did come to collect and she left a very generous donation, but Sophia wouldn't have it and demanded that she bring her tookie back. The toothfairy has refused to make any more trips to Sophia's bed out of fear that she would need to double-back again later in the night. So the tookie has stayed for 4 long years and become something very near and dear to Sophia's heart. Dr. Ducky was not feeling the tookie love and she said what I have been unable to say, no more tookies. The first night Sophia seemed a little confused about the lack of tookie and told me that she was worried about her tookie. I reassured her, kissed her goodnight, crossed my fingers and that was the end of it. No middle of the night fits, no crying about not having a tookie, just a little whine, some concern for the tookie's well-being and Sophia went to sleep. The second night was about the same as the first. Sophia went to bed promptly and I thought all was well with the world. Unfortunately, when we woke up in the morning we found a chair in the kitchen right next to the cabinet where the tookies live and then as we expected, found a tookie in the mouth of four year old Sophia who really worries about tookies
