So Impressed

I'm so impressed with Madix. She is so opposite Tyler and they both have their different strengths and weaknesses. Madix is very stubborn, determined and strong minded. Which can work for her good and bad. In this case what a strength it's been. If anyone's tried to break a habbit of finger sucking they know how hard it is. Any habbit you've had for over 3 yrs is extremely hard to break. With Ty we tried about when she was 3 1/2 also and we tried EVERYTHING. If you remember this (taking away her frog) and even offering Disneyland didn't do it. It's not like just taking a binky away, but we resorted to the closest thing by taking the use of her fingers away so she COULDN'T suck them.



Yep, we taped them for about 2 weeks and she would cry and cry, it was so sad, but it was for her good and it worked.
So anyways Madix sucked her fingers just like Ty. She sucked her pointer finger with her thumb. I thought for sure we would have to come down to taping her fingers also.

But man, this girl just set her mind on not sucking her fingers. She knew she didn't want them taped. And she just quit all on her own! So impressive! It took about a week of reminding her, and everytime I caught her she wouldn't fight me with it she just took her fingers out of her mouth.

I'm so proud of you Mads for stopping sucking your fingers all by yourself! I know with such determination and discipline you can accomplish anything you want in life!
