Walt is one determined little boy! I have been bribing the twins to stop sucking their thumbs and if they do they can choose any toy they want even a bike. Well after me saying this for about a week or two Walt comes to me and says, "I'm not sucking my thumb, can I get a game?" And I realized I haven't seen him sucking his thumb much, but I told him he needed to not suck it for 5 days. At night he would cry and say I want to suck my thumb, but I want my game. So I asked him if I could put gloves on his hands and I would talk to him or tell him a story until he would fall asleep the first two nights. He went from sucking it almost all day too, I couldn't even get him to stop during preschool. But he did it! And it was hard! I am so proud of him!
Walt with his reward.
Funny story about Walt and his thumb. About a month ago I noticed Walt sucking his left thumb and I said to Danny I swear Walt and Daisy both suck their right thumbs, am I the worse mom to have not realized for 4 years that Walt sucks his left thumb? And Danny says, well actually he got a sore on his right thumb one day and he was crying that it hurt and wanted to suck his thumb, so I just told him to suck his other thumb. I was like you are kidding me?! We could've weened him then. He said, I know it was just a hard day. Ahh!
Anyway here are some cute thumb pictures that I will cherish.
