The Sweetest Reward

SHE DID IT!!!!!!

That's right, Ella has gone 30 days without sucking her fingers! No more bandaids, no more stickers on the calendar to mark each night, no more reminders!



If you remember this post, she received a present after going 7 nights without sucking her fingers. Of course it was something she really wanted. So we decided she could pick her BIG present for the end of the 30 days. I mean 30 days is a long time to wait!

Are you dying to know what she wanted so bad? What she asked for every morning after putting her sticker on the calendar marking another night of accomplishment....


She wanted her fingernails painted for the very first time! (I wouldn't do it when she was still sucking her fingers).




To say she's thrilled would be an understatement!


Babycakes I am so proud of you! I knew you could do it. You are the best girl in the world :)
Love,
Mommy
