Simply because I was a `tumb sucker' who never got rid of the bad habit till very very very very old (too embarassed to tell you the age! You will flip). I was so old that I even `tied' my own little cloth bandage on both thumbs to prevent my addiction to the thumb. As you can see even my thumbs as like `extra long and slim' because of the sucking event which shaped it to be that! So the soothing to bed for both my kids were `zlich' and I just tolerated their whining through the night. Zara, all hats up to you for your excellent job to `psycho' her. Amazing she has the ability to do it herself at this age! She is one obedient gal!Flowsnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593718593284721677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14790769.post-1154516060552738512006-08-02T18:54:00.000+08:002006-08-02T18:54:00.000+08:00That's pretty good effort, ZMM.

Hope this ‘skill’ won’t give mummy headache in future.<BR/><BR/>Jasmine,<BR/>Hey, I heard psychoing a kid to wean off pacifier is easier, like tell them the pacifier is lost, or ask her to exchange for a toy in the shop etc. <BR/>Good luck to you. :) <BR/><BR/>Cocka,<BR/>Yes, big girls like to suck on lollies, but bad boys always think otherwise.<BR/><BR/>荦怡 mummy,<BR/>Thank you. My mummy also always say I’m a good girl, although sometimes a bit yai-yai (Cantonese : naughty).<BR/><BR/>Hui Sia,<BR/>It’s before nap time.. I know it’s not good too, but we try to get her to drink some water to rinse her mouth before she naps.<BR/>Aiyo, Jo sucked so hard huh? Poor thing. Now weaned off already?<BR/><BR/>Simple American,<BR/>That’s easy for you!<BR/>How’s your cruise?<BR/><BR/>Sabrina,<BR/>That’s good huh? I don’t know how come some kids are not hooked on any of these habit. <BR/>I offered the breast to Zara too when she was younger, still, some how, in the middle of the night, she preferred her thumb.<BR/><BR/>WMD,<BR/>Your son is just playing with the index finger right? It’s not like he’s hooked?<BR/>Sometimes Zara choked herself too, with her thumb sucking.. <BR/>They are so cute, don’t know how to ‘control’ :P<BR/><BR/>Helen,<BR/>Hey, I believe it as well, girls are more sensible and ‘kuai’ (that’s why I’m a wee bit worried now what if I’m pregnant with a boy!). The whole parenting approach that I used on Zara may have to change. *bite fingers*<BR/><BR/>Mumsgather,<BR/>Haha.. good luck with you helping your boy to wean off you. :P<BR/>Contented mum,<BR/>Yeah, I was glad really that she accepted our approach. :P<BR/><BR/>Kittycat,<BR/>Thank you.<BR/>Baby Lucas is so cute.<BR/><BR/>Matrianklw,<BR/>Thanks.. I hope she gets to read this blog one day as well, and appreciate the things we did. :) <BR/><BR/>Laundryamah,<BR/>All the best to you. Your girl is such a cutie! Hope she’ll be easy to wean off.<BR/><BR/>Chanelwong,<BR/>Yes.. but she’s still sucking her thumb when she’s in deep sleep though.. so I won’t say we’re 100% successful yet, but getting there.<BR/><BR/>Ricket,<BR/>Oh my.. changed to suck the pillow corner? Luckily Zara didn’t, she just keep smelling and sniffing her comfort objects.<BR/><BR/>Domestic Rat,<BR/>Hmm.. when did your sis eventually weaned off thumb sucking? I was worried Zara would still be sucking her thumb when she’s school going.ZMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784137029580967072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14790769.post-1154426717681869632006-08-01T18:05:00.000+08:002006-08-01T18:05:00.000+08:00This is all too familiar.

It really moves me that nowadays, parents can even set up a blog to track the progress of their children! Last time, it was just black and white photos that told the stories. I wonder what she's gonna say when she grows up and have her whole childhood recorded in a blog! I know I'd jump! Well, nice to see such a loving mum! I'll visit often to read all those really cute posts and pictures!!<BR/><BR/>MattMatt.
