Today on November 1st Jessica was able to go to Build a Bear and get her reward for not sucking her thumb for 5 weeks. Jess has not been enticed by any reward I have offered her to stop the thumb habit until we went into Build a Bear in the middle of Sept. and Jessica wanted one so bad that I made the deal with her. She had to stop sucking her thumb until Halloween and then the day after she could get her Build a Bear. We had weekly trips to the dollar store so she could have a little motivation every week but the big day was sooo fun. Jessica is so proud of herself and she is loving her new bear, Daisy, she is white with pink spots and has a red cheerleader outfit, just like Jessica's Halloween costume.

Aren't those victories the greatest? Good job Jessica AND Steph!
Don't mean to be a wet blanket, but I hope it sticks! I remember getting the following things for not sucking my thumb: a Shera doll, a Baskin Robbin's banana split, and Irish Barbie (which I pulled from its hiding spot and played with before I deserved it). And every time, I started up again. It took a boy for me to get over. I really do hope Jessica's done. I hated being ridiculed at sleepovers when I got caught.
