Ok, this happened months ago, but it's so ace I have to share. 

My young lassie was a dummy/pacifier user.  I tried without success to take them off her.  I started off by buying two dummies.  those broke, so I bought another 2...lost one, so bought another 1.  so in total, I had bought 5 dummies, with two going at a time; one for the bag and one for the bed.  She only ever used it at nap or bed time. 

She got down to her last dummy.  I was reluctant to buy another, so she just used the one.  It finally broke.  So, here goes, I decided that was it.  I told her she couldn't have it because it was broken.  She wasn't happy with that at all.  So, I completely removed the teat from her dummy and gave her just the cap.  She looked at it, tried to suck on where the teat should be and looked again.  She looked up at me puzzled.  "but it's broken, I don't want it"  and that was the end of the story.  I kept the broken one for a couple of weeks just to remind her.  She's never looked back since.  This happend around December last year.  She was about 2 1/2.
