Okay, so here are a few fun things about Holdyn. She's been working really hard to stop sucking her thumb. We helped her pick out something she could earn when she didn't suck her thumb for a few weeks. She picked this pink tool set. We are proud to say that she earned it!
We'd been trying to help her stop by just reminding her that if she wanted to earn her toolset, she couldn't suck her thumb. Well it was working, but not fast enough. So Ben told her that her thumb would look like his if she didn't stop sucking it. This did the trick! She was so terrified of her thumb looking like her daddy's! She stopped right then and there and hasn't had one suck since.....that we know of. She calls her dad's thumb 'tricky' and did not want her thumb to be 'tricky.' So that was the end of the thumb sucking! Here is a picture of Ben's 'tricky' thumb. (Long story short, he was born with two thumbs on this hand.)
In other news, Holdyn made this AWESOME egg head at preschool a couple weeks ago. The grass we planted has grown wild! It is awesome! She waters it everyday and I think we may need to cut it soon. Perfect time for Easter :)

SO funny about the thumb trick, I love it! These are all such cute pics, I love that Kimber put the elastic back on the cupboards, and I love the one of her with her helmet over her eyes. Too cute.
With a threat like that who wouldn't be scared. He needs to threaten Taylor too.
