This picture taken in Kolkata just hours after she landed in our arms!!
Well this journal entry will be about Miss Maiya Reela and her THUMB!! She loves little thumb,especially at night,night or nap,nap time!!. She has been doing it ever since we had her in India,at first so sweet we would say. But now we are wanting little thumb to no longer be a part of her little mouth which is now home to some teeth. We don't want that little sweet thumb to make her beautiful teeth push out. SO that is the thumb story. As of last night, Shane said he was able to put her to bed as he just held her hand and rubbed her hand as he sang to her. So I tried that today at nap time,and just maybe this will work,and we can keep her from plugging her mouth with it during sleepy time! Maybe I can get her hooked on her little pokey dot blanket instead. We are up for the challenge!! LOL. When she goes to grab her thumb,we always say...you don't need it and we pull it away and she just laughs and smiles! These are the thumb days definate for us all,our boys never had a interest in a paci or thumb!
Maiya has also just volunteerly went to her mamie this week and then my dad got to hold her for the first time as he fed her ice cream!! Now her and Adyn are eating ice cream sandwich's and the bus alarm is going off as I type this!
On another note,Adyn starts 4 yr old preschool tomorrow and he is so excited. We celebrated his birthday over the weekend. Shane and I stayed up Friday night until almost 3 a.m. making our first Wilton Castle cake together! Pictures later!!:)
Bailey also has had a good first month of school and a special month for him was August,in which he came to us with wanting to be batized in JESUS NAME which was laid on his heart. We sat down and had a family lesson on the plan of salvation and what baptizing meant,and we told him whenever he was ready in his heart, for him to let us know,and he immediate said he was ready and understood, so he got baptized and he soon shall recieve the HOLY GHOST and we so cherished this night and I got a snapshot of it as Shane and I and the children were right there at the water with him. That moment we will all never forget.
This week... Shane will turn 32 and Adyn the big 5! Then off to Holiday World for the company outing. Maiya will even have her own shirt like all of us,hers just might be a dress though,LOL!! Off to get Bailey off the bus!! Have a great week to you all.

So cute that Maiya loves her thumb. Funny too, that Devi, also a huge thumb sucker, also has a small polka dot blanket square that she affectionately calls "Pokey". She only sucks her thumb when she is tired and as soon as she is asleep, it pops out. Pokey is a necessity if any sleeping is going on!
Would love to see some new pictures...and some of the cake!

Simeon is obsessed with his thumb and the dentist said he will definitely be needing braces. We sometimes put Mavala on it which keeps him from sucking it during the day. It tastes horrible. He will suck it at night even with that horrible stuff on it. The doctor said they eventually grow out of it. You normally will not see a high schooler sucking his thumb right ;) His stubborn streak wins in this department :) Good luck!
Anya Rashi is a rabid thumb-sucker, and we have pictures from ISRC of her sucking there too. :o) Our dentist said not to worry too much about it -- those front teeth are going to fall out anyway. She mostly does it when she's tired, so we haven't tried to stop her. By the time she's in pre-school next fall, we hope she's done with all daytime sucking!
Congratulations to Bailey for making such an important decision, and Happy Birthday to Adyn! Can't wait to see cake photos . . .
