Haha, MammaMia, you're tough! Do they actually stop? I would have liked to see you make my lip smacking boy stop. I mean, I tried and tried before I finally gave up because his Mom didn't see any problem with it.
But I think it's part of my job to teach the children good habits so that they will be rid of the problems for the rest of their lives, you know? Yeesh! Right now I have an almost 2 year old sweetie who has started humming while she chews. I'm afraid it's because I sing songs to them a lot while they eat and now I have to stop because it's getting to be quite a habit for her. Now I have to say that we'll sing after lunch. It never ends with the problems, I tell ya!!!!!
But the lipsmacking boy has graduated so now I'm able to eat my lunch with the children again and I'm trying to get back into that habit over the past few months and then we can have our full circle time right after lunch again.
