The creator of the pacifier is getting no play in my house. C.J. has found her thumb and she likes it. for the past few weeks she has been gnawing at her hand. However as of late it is her right thumb. This is is in line with her development but it drives mommy and daddy crazy. Mommy says it is hereditary because she sucked her thumb as a child. I think she is just being stubborn.
Tonight I decided to play with her so I pretended to eat her hand. Of course it was the one that she likes to put in her mouth. It was funny I had her entire hand in my mouth. She tugged at it for a bit to try to get it out but I would not let go. Finally she just went to the other hand but as soon as daddy let it go she quickly switched to her more desired right thumb. It has got so bad that when i looked in the crib this morning her thumb was fixed in her mouth.
So of course I had o read up to see why babies suck their thumbs and the research was positive. They said let her be and she will grow out of it. I hope she does because daddy does not want to get her braces to fix an overbite. Well now that my thumb sucking princess is sleep so is daddy. Until next time be sure to pray because prayer changes things.
