We're trying to break the thumb sucking habit at our house. No, not Dusty! Rachel has been a hard core thumb sucker since she was a baby. So I did what any self respecting, desperate parent would do - I resorted to bribery! Rachel's current fascination is mermaids. Last week I started telling her that I would take her to buy a special surprise if she would not suck her thumb. And to my surprise and delight it worked. (Of course she may still be sucking her thumb in the middle of the night, but I can't help that) Today we went and picked out a mermaid doll. Little Mermaid toy: $5 Potentially avoiding thousands in orthodontics: Priceless!

You bad mom! I would NEVER do anything like that! If anyone believes me... I have some property I am trying to... Oh never mind.
