It reminds me of a friend's honeymoon picture from Rome (lucky) -- they were at a deli-type place which had grownup juice boxes -- filled with wine! Wherever a Catholic sun doth shine and all that.<br />I sucked my thumb until I was 6, and had to have oodles of orthodontic work. None of my children sucked anything, thumbs or binkies (with the exception of one weaning toddler for a few months which doesn't really count), and they're aaaaaaaall going to need spreaders and braces. <br />I chalk it up to tiny-mouthed genes, and rejoice in my thumb-sucking baby right along with you!

Even my orthodontist is annoyed....) was to clean out my nails with my two bottom front teeth, slowly pushing them apart (gross, I know. My hygiene had fortunately improved in 8 years)<br /><br />P.S. I def read that as 'bum warning' instead of 'barn warming'....BIG difference......Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978369468735860836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-8671152159046274532012-10-25T16:11:47.654-04:002012-10-25T16:11:47.654-04:00My three who are old enough to have their permanen...My three who are old enough to have their permanent teeth are all doomed for braces due to big teeth.

Take that, nay-sayers! (Well, I feel a bit defensive on this issue because my daughter sucks her thumb and my m-i-l keeps nagging, er, suggesting she stop and I want HER to stop.
