Addy Stopped Sucking her Thumb!!
Cute little Addy stopped sucking her thumb!She actually didn't start sucking her thumb until about a week before her eye surgery about a year ago. She started because she saw Hailey doing it, and I guess she loved it...haha! We didn't try to stop her because we figured it would help comfort her for her eye surgery. With Hailey, we tried a few different things, but she didn't give it up until she was ready, and she had been sucking her thumb since birth! I decided a week ago to try and help Addy stop sucking hers. A week has passed, and she hasn't sucked it once! It was so easy! We made her a sticker chart, and bought her a toy that she would get after one week of no thumb sucking. We also painted her nails with a bitter polish, which never worked with Hailey. Addy was so excited to get up each morning and paint her nails again and put a new sticker on her chart. Every day, she would count her stickers, it was so cute. I was worried about nighttime sucking, but she did awesome! One night I went in and she had her little hand wrapped up in her blanket, tucked in by her face, it was the cutest thing! I knew she was trying hard to stop! This morning marked one week, and she was able to get her shopping cart toy that she had been starting at for a week! Go Addy!!
