Like Gideon and his fear to trust the Lord.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019196506728291103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208417976291535386.post-44056907733571606682008-10-09T14:59:00.000-05:002008-10-09T14:59:00.000-05:00Do you have any ideas for a boys 8th grade bible s...Do you have any ideas for a boys 8th grade bible study?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208417976291535386.post-25337805235910445192008-10-06T21:52:00.000-05:002008-10-06T21:52:00.000-05:00I feel his pain.

I sucked my thumb until second grade, and honestly, I'd probably still be doing it if it were socially acceptable. :) My sucking thumb even feels different than my other thumb. Poor kid. We've had a couple of kids try to suck their thumb, but Brendan (who sucked his thumb until third grade!) vowed to never let his kids suck their thumbs because he just couldn't stand to watch them have to try to stop doing it. (Apparently, he still remembers the agony of it all, too!) All four of our kids have had pacifiers for a couple of years (Max started refusing his at 10 months so we're a passie-free home right now!!) As annoying as those things are (and they really are annoying!) it's been a relief to say "you're done now" and just gather them up and throw them away. :) (All but the couple I've saved for sentimentality sake.) <BR/>It might help for Sam to wear a glove or sock on his hand at night. I remember falling asleep without a thumb in my mouth, but waking up with it in! I guess I'd just slip it in in my sleep. <BR/>Sam is a brave soul. Funny thing, too, that he's doing this today because while I was folding cloth diapers this afternoon, I was remembering Sam's rag. So, Sam, from one thumb-sucker to another--you can do it!!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537616411264726552noreply@blogger.com
