Sleep Caps and Best Sissies
The girls in their new sleep caps! Katelyn has had a habit for the past few years of sucking her thumb and twirling her hair...which normally is harmless (and often adorable)... but... she twirls so much that she ends up pulling her hair out in clumps:-( We have tried everything over the past few years...lots of positive reinforcement and some taking away of privileges...different types of textured blankets for her to hang on to, dolls with hair for her to run her fingers through, gloves, toys for her to sit with to keep her hands occupied, cutting her hair short, baby oil (so her fingers would slip out of her hair and she wouldn't be able to pull), talks with the pediatrician, talks from grandma, grandpa, grammy, us, Ava even has encouraged her... and it finally seemed to be working for a few months...up until the last few weeks:-( So...we're trying something new. I ordered "sleep caps" online. At first Kate was really resistant to wearing a hat at bed time,
