My Sage is an amazing little girl. She recently accomplished quite a feat, however, I have been afraid to post it because i was sure she would revert back if i did. Back in September, we all went to have our teeth cleaned and the dentist had a serious heart-to-heart with Sage about her thumb sucking habit. As a former thumb sucker, i found it to be very cute. Not only that, it calmed her so why worry right? Well, the dentist told her she was a beautiful princess with beautiful princess teeth, but her thumb sucking was starting to move her teeth and if she didn't stop, she would not have pretty teeth for much longer. He also confirmed that princesses do not suck their thumbs. As a former braces-wearing teenager, I understood what he was telling her. So after the gorgeous hygentist (Sage was quite sure she was Sleeping Beauty) backed up the good doc, Sage decided enough was enough. Me, i wasn't so sure so i offered up a bribe-a princess dress if she could go 2 weeks without sucking her thumb. Well, let me tell you, the bribe was completely unnecessary. Sage has never put her thumb in her mouth since we left the dentist office. Amazing! Getting to sleep at night was a bit tricky for awhile, but she is working on it. She picked out a tinker bell dress and tells everyone how she earned it. I am so proud of her and her accomplishment.

Yeah! It has been too long since we heard from you! I love reading your blog- and way to go Sage! She is an amazing girl! We love Sage!
Sage- you definitley are a little princess! Way to go! So, I 'm a little concerned about our trip to the dentist next month. I'm afraid Rylee is totally going to freak out on us -it's her first check-up.
