“Mittens in May, Mom… seriously!?!”  (this is the perfect face for this post)  Rose started sucking the exact two fingers that we are working so hard on getting Anna Kate to stop sucking, so I was like, we are not going to go through this again… we’re stopping it before it gets started!

Do the ROBOT!!!

We tried baby mittens, and she sucked through them because they are made of such thin cotton.  Then we tried baby socks because they wouldn’t be shaped like a hand, but she still sucked them until they were soaking wet.  She won’t take a paci, she absolutely hates them, so that won’t work.  Then I remembered we have some 6-12 mos. fleece mittens in the girls closet upstairs.  So, it was a process finding something that would help, but now she can’t suck.  The only thing is she looks so silly!  Poor baby!  We have to take her clothes off so she won’t be too hot in her “May mittens!”  Bless.her.heart.
