No Bite!

The time has come to start working on Davis and his thumb sucking habit. He has sucked his thumb since birth, and it is a great source of comfort to him. However, we just took him to the dentist, and it is time to stop! Last night, I asked Davis if he was ready to stop sucking his thumb, and he amazingly said yes...probably before he thought about it. Either way, we took it and ran with it! I have a bottle of "No Bite" handy, and Davis got his thumb nails painted. Ashley decided to stop biting his finger nails as well, and he also got a coat. Davis has done good so far, and hasn't even complained. He was so proud of himself this morning when he woke up, he ran to me and said "Mommy, guess what you asked me to do and I did it!!! I didn't suck my thumb last night!" He says he didn't even try, which is probably true, because AJ has been complaining about the taste of that stuff all day! I told Davis if he really does stop, he can get a suprise. He chose a purple light up light saber from Star Wars. I figured it's a good incentive and a heck of a lot cheaper than more time in braces. He already has an open bite, and there's no telling what his adult teeth will look like. Now if we can just get the dog to stop biting!
