We just need our 'me' time that's all. It'll get easier as they get older and a bit more independant. (I hope!!)

Hey Shell, does Ash like to suck on your little finger? Riv likes to suck on ours (with the fingernail facing down on his tongue...guess it's sorta close to the shape of a nipple?).
Anyway, when I've had trouble getting River to take his dummy, I put my little finger in and get him to suck on that, then do the ol switcheroo! Might be worth a shot.
