It attached to my top back teeth and had little curves of metal behind my top front teeth. I could eat, but I couldn't get my thumb in my mouth and close it. That worked, and no one knew it was there.jikinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611232264483722384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-22280707780565619552012-03-04T06:38:10.899-08:002012-03-04T06:38:10.899-08:00Joy, it's just not something we see much in ou...Joy, it's just not something we see much in our culture - kids who unbutton their mom's shirts so they can have a drink.the gold diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134199198587591427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-37887742631726961162012-03-03T15:12:29.048-08:002012-03-03T15:12:29.048-08:00I agree with the breastfeeding thing.Once they can...I agree with the breastfeeding thing.Once they can walk they can do so with a suppurate cup.

My memory of the time there has gotten a little fuzzy. I do rmbr my 2nd grade teacher was Ms. Balian and my 3rd grade teacher was Mrs. Perez.<br /><br />I was a cub scout and learned to play baseball there. <br /><br />Like you, I still rmbr our old address...135-C, but unlike you, I rmbr my old phone number, 554. <br /><br />Thanks for the post, I enjoyed it.Calmnrelaxedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515163060109776524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-70746481292232719522011-02-21T04:46:39.186-08:002011-02-21T04:46:39.186-08:00Hi there.

My poor mother had to wash the sheets (and my pajamas) every day. I never was aware of what was happening during the night until after the fact and I woke up wet. I hated it, but I have to give my mother credit for never, ever belittling me or getting mad. Finally outgrew it. And I was a thumb-sucker until I got braces at age eleven. What a mess I was! hahaIma June Pullethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17323298147048526193noreply@blogger.com
