A couple months ago, Molly protested loudly when I was washing her loveys. Since she puts them in her mouth and sucks them like pacifiers, a regular washing is necessary – not that it really made them look very much cleaner. But it was essential for the smell (and presumably they would have actually been dirtier if I hadn’t washed them regularly.)
Anyway, Molly got so annoyed that I was washing them that she decided that they would no longer be mouth bunnies. In that instant she cold turkey stopped sucking them by sheer force of will.
Considering that these bunnies resided in her mouth at least 12 hours a day since she was 18 months old, making this decision all at once and then sticking to it is pretty astounding.
