High five Taylor

It has been 1 week since the thumb sucking stuff went on. Still no sucking. She is one proud little girl and we are really proud of her. It's been tough for her to fall asleep at night but is getting better. I think all the playing outside the kids are doing will help in the sleep department.

Now that Spring is here the kids have been playing outside non stop. I have to drag them in for supper and bed. Quinks is starting to sport his summer hair color. And they both are getting the colored cheeks.

Tomorrow I am going to try and go for a run before church. It's been almost a week since my reoccurence of pain. I'm hoping it will go well. I'm missing running. Plus I've been feeling fat lately and need to really do it and push myself instead of going at a easy comfortable pace.
It was mentioned on Kristen's blog, by a commentor, about the 100 push up challenge. I'm in awe of people who can do lots of proper push ups. I cannot do them so maybe this is what I need to get started. I'll keep ya'll posted. (I'm sure you'll be dieing to know how I'll do. ;) Right.)
I'll post for me then.

Anyway it's been a day filled with play and gymnastics so I now need to clean up. There is something always to be cleaned hey?

Another day down

Woohoo another thumb sucking free day so far. The only down side is that it is taking her longer to get to sleep. Retraining I guess.

My IT band pain is back. I was having a great run with only 2k left and whammo it hit. If you've ever had that pain before you know the leg just doesn't want to run anymore. I was so frustrated. I've had no pain so far and with less than 2 months to go I hope I can get it undercontrol. Maybe I'm just not ment to do any distance past 12K. I'll see how tomorrows short run goes. I might just have to ease up on trying to get faster and not worry about a time goal. Argh!

Anyway having a pretty lazy Saturday with Ian and Megs. Don't worry Marilyn your daughter is being well taken care of. My kids love the both of them and won't leave them alone.

We have a winner!

24 hours down and Taylor hasn't sucked her thumb. Mavala is our winner product. So far it is worth the $12. I know crazy for some nail biter type stuff but if it is going to work I'll pay it. Taylor is pretty stoked (yeah I'm a closet skate boarder) that she hasn't sucked it all day. Helps that we've been praising her. I'm not sure how long it will take before we don't have to use the stuff. Probably sooner than later.
