Jayden's newest excuse

We have been trying to cure Jayden of his thumb sucking habit. Each day he can earn up to three stickers depending on how well he is doing at his "goal" When he gets a certain number of stickers, he gets some toys he picked out. He is usually on board, but some days he still wants his thumb. We remind him a lot, not to suck his thumb and on Saturday, he said "I'm not sucking my thumb, I'm eating my fingers"

Kids are great! your kids are so cute. You have such a cute family. I haven't seen you in forever. Where are you living now? You could have said Tara Brown and I would have known who you were! LOL Looks like you are doing well. Keep in touch through the blog ok? :) I love people to leave comments!

I was a thumb sucker and my parents tried everything....from nail polish to mittens to this nasty "no thumb sucking" stuff my mom would put on my nail. It wasn't until I was 12 and about to go into young womens that I finally stopped. But my sister Katie is 22 and still catches herself waking up with her thumb in her mouth. It can be a really hard habit to break. Maybe it helps that you are starting so early cause I don't think my mom tried anything til I was like 5 or so. Those boys are so cute though and I can't wait for your little girl. Any names yet?

It's going to be kind of weird to see him without his thumb in his mouth. But it can be done if you just work on it. I think you and Candice were both about third grade before you quit. I don't remember working with either of you on it. Do you remember why you quit?
