Parent Points

I've pulled 68 and 72 hrs at work the last two weeks. Ewa has been an outright rock star for taking such great care of Bianca, and maintaining her sanity, the last two weeks. We've been trying to cure Bianca of sucking on her fingers since she turned 18 months. We've been putting bandaids on her index finger, and sometimes her thumb, when we put her down to sleep. There was a rough patch of a few weeks when she couldn't self soothe without the finger in the evening and she didn't want to nap in her crib during the day either. Now, though, she doesn't even look twice at the finger; lots of Parent Points for us right? Well, now she requests the damn bandaid every night, even though she only wants it on so she can take it off before she goes to sleep. Some nights she forgets. I guess we just can't win.
