The dentist recommended that Lily Kate stop sucking her thumb. I was a little worried when she suggested it because the first time we breached the subject Lily Kate got incredibly upset (waterworks). That was about a year ago, so when we brought it up again, Lily Kate was on board. We made a chart with eleven boxes on it (her choice). Then each naptime and night that she didn't suck her thumb she got to put a sticker on the chart. Today she put the final sticker on!
Here she is with her chart and her new camera |
We are so proud of the beautiful girl that she is becoming. And incredibly grateful that she won't suck her thumb until she's six (like her mom did :))
I'm so worried about the thumbsucking issue. I sucked my thumb until 1st grade, so I have a lot of sympathy for my little Meredith. It's going to be hard to be consistent with trying to get her to quit. Nice to know there's another mom out there I can consult:)
