Breaking bad habits

Yesterday DS1 and I made plans to try to break our bad habits. It was his idea. He is going to try to stop sucking on his fingers, and I am going to try to stop chewing my fingernails.

Some TV show that we have seen taught him about good habits and bad habits and that it takes 21 days of doing something to make it a habit. I've tried for ~40 years to stop biting my fingernails and cuticles, with sporadic success. (They looked nice for my wedding; short but nice.) His fingers are constantly wrinkled and often chapped, so I hope we are both successful!

Top Bunk

We moved to a new house last week. This evening we finally got the boys' bunk beds put together. DS1 is now sleeping on the top bunk. He still wanted to sit and rock with me before falling asleep, though. :-)

First Dental Cleaning

DS1 had his first dental cleaning today. He did great! About 6 months ago he had a "counting" visit and visual inspection but without the cleaning and fluoride.

Little brother watched and had his teeth counted, but he refused the cleaning. He doesn't like noises (unless he's making them) so the suction (aka "Mr. Thirsty") spooked him a bit. He did better than last time, though, when he wouldn't even open his mouth for the counting.
