No more thumb sucking

Little Bug had her appointment at the Orthodontist this morning. He's giving her two more months to quit thumb sucking before he looks at an appliance in the mouth. In the meantime, he gave her Mavala. "We've tried all the finger paints; she likes the taste of them." "This is much stronger than anything you get over the counter. She won't like this one." We immediately painted both of her thumbs and Little Monkey's as well. There has been much complaining and spitting in the last ten minutes. I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
