big brother is not a thumb-sucker... never was. this little girl, though, seems to maybe be taking after her daddy and mommy. (we both were thumb-suckers... emphasis on were)
oh so peaceful...
don't you feel all happy and snuggly just looking at her?
"huh. it DOES taste good..." now to work on her transition between paci and thumb. we don't care if she takes both; actually, both would be nice because sometimes, i just can't stop every 10 seconds to stick that paci back in. on one hand, the thumb can't be dropped or lost. on the other hand, it can't be tossed out like a paci when it's time to break the habit. experts say that thumb-sucking usually stops once kids hit kindergarten. if they just can't help themselves it's the realization that nobody else is doing it that gets them to stop. or the teasing, unfortunately. i'm not worried about it now- that bridge is beyond the horizon yet. but yes, we now have a thumb-sucker. it's pretty endearing, the way she lays almost on her side (always the left, since that's the only thumb she's been taking), head thrown back, thumb popped in... sometimes she even holds on to her left hand with her right hand, like she wants to make sure that thumb won't sneak out on her. i need to get a photo of that... what a sweet little squish!
