Poor Elleree

My poor baby girl has had a rough time of it lately.  We bit the bullet and decided to start potty training, and stopping the sucking of the thumb.  After doing some research, about the thumb sucking not the potty training, we tried various techniques.  We put a band aid on it, painted it with that nasty fingernail polish especially for thumb suckers, I even jerry rigged some duct tape into thingy, all to no avail. I decided there has to be something better, I found exactly what I wanted on line.  I swear this company stole my idea check it out, and check out the price! http://www.yourhandaid.com/shop/  Any who when I realized I was not going to fork over that kind of moola I decided to make one of my own.  Elleree only has to have something covering her thumb that she can't get off, so I made this.  She calls it her glove, and the boys keep begging me to make them one. I am going to make it in all different colors.  Best part it cost me nothing, and it is washable.

I like that idea of the glove. I was 5...yes 5 when I stopped sucking my thumb. My parents told me I could have a bike if I stopped so I did, I got a pink bike with a banana seat :) I think I turned out okay :) I hope it works and you should try and sell these yourself :)
