Could it really be that easy?

We got a tip from a friend that band aids will stop a child from sucking their thumb.
NO? Really? Just a simply band aid?

So we gave it a try.

2 cloth band aids on each thumb, and wa-la: no thumb sucking! NO THUMB SUCKING!

We have taking them off at times, so her thumbs can get some air, but there has been remarkable progress in these past 3 days. No sucking with the band aids on, and reduced sucking with them off (by reduced I mean 50-75% less)!

It may be to early to call this a miracle cure, but we will see. Only time will tell.

There were more people at the BYU game than any other game we attended this year. Most of the pictures were taken before the game started, in the nose-bleed section. We were letting the kids run around before we had to have them sit on our laps for the actual game!

I think I'm gonna try this Bethy. Annie loves to suck on her right finger and has since birth and nothing seems to be helping. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the advice.
