Breaking the habit: Day 30

It's hard to believe it was a month ago when we started the "Stop thumb sucking" program. Thanks to all the grand parents who help reinforce and support the process. It does take a village to raise a child. I don't believe daughter was emotionally ready until a month ago. We tried it when she was 2 years old and it didn't work at all. So far she is doing great and hopefully she will have continue success for another month.
I asked her time to time if it's getting easier everyday for her. She said that during nap time is easier but at night it's harder for her to resist the urge. I do noticed that at night when she's trying to fall asleep she has her thumb in the ready to suck position but she set her arm on the side. Now when she's awake she jumps out of bed where as before she would snuggle with green bear and suck her thumb and falls back to sleep.
We are attending a sibling class to get S emotionally prepared for a new sister. I heard from many people that when the baby arrives and we get visitors for the baby, we should asked the visitors to pay attention to S upon their arrival instead of asking for the baby. This way S will not resent the baby.

I heard through the grapevine that my aunt who lives in Taiwan, who is the same age as Bulleye just had a baby girl on Big Bluff's wedding day. Congrats!
