Baby Bell has been nukky girl since I can remember. She looked so adorable with her nuk in her mouth that I never thought about the day when I might need to limit it. With her second birthday fast approaching I thought it was time to take the nuk away. Cold turkey was the best way I thought. Nope!!!! Ellie was not having it. So, like many other parents out there, I just succumbed to the notion that she would be four and still running around with a nuk in her mouth. Recently, she has been chewing on her nuks, putting holes in them, so I knew it is time for change for safety reasons. Change is a good think as long as it subtle. I have been limiting it to quiet time and bed time. While I will not go on long car rides without a nuk, she doesn't automatically get to have it either.
I have noticed that she is using it less and less. She is talking more, but this was never a problem because she has the gift to gab. I thought I was making progress. Score! Point for mommy. Then I noticed something even worse..... She is a thumb sucker. And that, I can't take away. Mom scored a point, but Baby Bell has won the game.
