September 23, 2012

I went to Time Out For Women this weekend.  It was really good. here are some of the things I learned.
  • Trust His example
    • The Savior did what he could every day. The list of people and things that needed help could have been endless - like mine feels sometimes.
    • But He did what was right and followed the spirit and did what He could and even each small thing was amazing.
    • I need to be ok with this as He was.
  • Sacrifice will bring blessings - with hold nothing from the Lord
  • 4 Things to remember:
    • Listen carefully
    • Look forward
    • Laugh often
    • Love deeply

Ruby has gotten in a habit of putting her first fingers and thumbs in her mouth (just one at a time).  It happened really fast. I've only noticed she's been doing it for maybe 2 or 3 months, but not that much.  But in the last couple of weeks it's become all the time.  She can't keep them out.  It was starting to worry me and then I remember the Mavala Stop gross fingernail polish we used with Aaron that made him stop sucking his thumb.  So I ordered it on Amazon and we got started.  I thought it would be quick and easy because she hasn't been doing it very long, but that habit was so strong!  She's had a really hard time keeping her fingers out.  And she wakes up crying at night and she's grumpier in the day.  She threw up the first day because she sucked on that gross taste so much.  Then she'd just drool and whine a lot because she'd forget and put her finger in her mouth and get the taste in there.  And that taste doesn't really go away until you eat something.  Today is the third day and she's finally getting a little better at it. Poor little girl.  But I know she'll be sick all winter if we don't get rid of that habit.
