Man, it is so weird. Things that drove me crazy a few months ago are not a big deal. Like grocery shopping. I used to dread that task, with or without my girls. But lately, grocery shopping is not even a big deal at all. 

Today we went shopping and it was fun. P and K helped me remember stuff on my list. They counted the fruits and veggies as I bagged them. They loaded stuff onto the belt. They called out everything the cashier scanned. 

Thy were great. 

And let me tell you, that is saying a lot. Today was also D-Day. Operation No Thumb-sucking started this morning. Wow!

Ok, background. When P and K were baby babies, they were pacifier girls. Then, at about 14ish months, they decided their thumbs were better. So, they have been devoted to their thumbs for over a year. And I mean devoted. Especially since the move. So now that things have calmed down, we are going to try to kick this habit. 

Baby steps. Every hour that they go without sucking their thumbs, they get a sticker or a little treat. We will be working our way up to longer times and better rewards. But I have to say, this first day was pretty great. The girls were really great about it. They even reminded each other. "sis, we don't suck our thumbs." 

They are so amazing. 

P.S. My head. Seriously. Ouch.
