Say Click...Take a Pic

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
Once she decided on her prize, it was pretty simple for her to quit.  We went as a family to Target tonight to get her prize!

She took pictures of everything once we got home.  Her favorite subject was Reese (poor guy).  Here's a few of her best:




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 :))

  1. 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:)
