A couple of weeks ago the girls headed off to the dentist for a regular check up and cleaning. While they were there, the dentist had a little talk with them about sucking their thumbs. The main focus of the conversation was on Jordyn. She showed Jordyn Xrays of her big, adult teeth that are close behind those loose teeth she has now. She explained to Jordyn what sucking her thumb was going to do to those teeth. After the little talk, Jordyn told me that she wants that "thing" to help her stop sucking her thumb. I'm sure many of you have seen that "thing" she is referring to. It's that wacky looking "thumb guard" found in the One Step Ahead magazine. People swear by it....so we placed our order.
Over the past week, Jordyn kept asking me, "Is today the day it will come?" She seemed to be excited, but I'm not sure if that's how she really felt about all of this. Jordyn LOVES her thumb!
Although I'll be glad not to see it in her mouth anymore....I have to admit...I was dreading the UPS man for her! Finally, today...I heard the sound of the truck out front (usually an exciting sound, right? Something you purchased is finally here!). However, I was kind of sad that today was the day....
Once I got it out of the package and figured out how the strange contraption was supposed to go on...I asked her...."Are you ready?" She said, "wait..." and did this....
