Got thumb?






We've been talking to Eli for a while now about his thumb sucking. He decided that he would stop when he turns 5. Ok by us...but then he started talking about wanting to chew bubble gum, which we agreed would be allowed when he turned 5...Well, the light bulb went on over Randy's head and he came up with the idea that if Eli could stop sucking his thumb now, he could have bubble gum now. (He turns 5 in April, so it's just a few months early!) Eli loved the idea and said he could go 30 days with no thumbie...we talked him down to 15 days and made a calendar...and...BAM! SUCCESS.....Go Eli!!!!
Then Joel stated joking around and pretending to suck his thumb too ;) Thankfully those shenanigans only lasted a day and he realized he's not a thumb sucker, but a master Diego floor puzzle solver!
