My pacifier baby just up and walked into the kitchen one day (right before or right after she turned 5..can't remember) and said, "Here. This is for babies. I'm too big." And NEVER LOOKED BACK! I also hid it for 2 days wondering if it would really stick. She just floored me. I sure wish I had known it would be that easy, I wouldn't have given it a moment's concern. <br />My thumb sucker was (I'm sorry to say) 10 years old? Maybe 9 1/2. Anyway, she read in a book that you can break your habit by wearing a glove when you sleep. So she did for a month and that was that. All on her own. <br />My point is I despaired of them ever stopping and they both did --on their own!!!<br />But yes, it is a little sad about him not smelling your hair! :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893224927335285415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-36748726933230875882011-08-23T13:12:27.299-05:002011-08-23T13:12:27.299-05:00Yay for Sam!

We are currently letting her chew gum because she does not suck her thumb if she has gum in her mouth. I suppose there are worse things. :)amanda81https://www.blogger.com/profile/05684553584031700920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-66072079013394238502011-08-23T07:36:25.499-05:002011-08-23T07:36:25.499-05:00I feel your pain over losing "the baby"....I feel your pain over losing "the baby". We have yet to kick Preston out of our bed. We know when he is out of it our baby will be gone!

Lots of times when we're leaving the house and she can't find her blanket and pacifier she says, "I'm a big girl." I usually grab them just in case. <br /><br />My kids are all blanket kids, well my biological children are. Love Owen, by the way. I think my parents finally bribed me successfully when I was like 12 to quit sleeping withit. My 12, 10, and 8 yr olds all still sleep with blankies. They can go without them, unlike Lucie who watches the washer and dryer and cries while it's getting clean, but still... It just hasn't been a priority for me. I actually still have mine, but it's retired to the top of my closet : ).<br /><br />And I agree, you might be a redneck : ).<br /><br />Oh- and your freezer dinners sound wonderful! I may need to make a few of those my next time around.<br /><br />CeleeCeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958942308350578991noreply@blogger.com
