We struck up a deal with Jack that if he stopped sucking his fingers for 10 whole days, we would buy him a star wars lego set that he's wanted very badly. Kaitlyn made him a cute chart, the deal was set and look what happened....
He actually did it. Really did it. Not one sucky finger day. Not one sucky finger while holding "blankie." Not one sucky finger in the car. He really did it.
So after 10 days, we headed to the store to pick up the prize- which was kinda pricey for a kid his age-like $80.
BUT....we had promised him and honestly didn't think he would actually do it (he was totally addicted to those fingers!)
These are the two fingers he USED to suck...
And this is the real reason he wanted that Lego set. MORE STAR WARS GUYS!
We're very proud of him. Our baby is turning into a big boy.

Way to go Jack!
He certainly knows a good deal when he sees one ($80 toys?). The price of bribery only goes up as they get older...
Jack's the man.
I have a few bad habbits I would like to break. Melissa / Chris is the same deal available to me?
dad
those look like some cool legos
way to go
Jack I am so proud of you for becoming such a big boy! You don't need sucky fingers anymore cause you have cool star wars men to keep your fingers busy. I miss you. Love, Grandma
That is great Jack! What a great reward for Jack and for you guys!
Good job Jack !! Enjoy those legos.
