It's Official

For the past three days, Lydia has found her thumb and sucked on it every time I've put her down for a nap. I did my best to get her to take a pacifier, but she's found her own way to self-sooth. Nothing we can do about it now, but I hear it is TOUGH to help a kid break this habit later on.

Jennifer said...: Um, yes. Yes, it is. We're having a TOUGH time with Bennett, but I also had a hard time and turned out all right :). Jasper sucks his thumb when he sleeps, but only when he sleeps, so it hasn't affected much - maybe that's the way Lydia will be. The picture of her is PRECIOUS.; July 26, 2011 at 3:39 PM
Vicky said...: I think she looks adorable!

Hopefully it won't become a lasting problem.; July 27, 2011 at 5:43 PM

I am a 35-year-old mother of four. I spent my first twenty-two years in a small town in central Arkansas, and married my college sweetheart a few months after graduation. He and I taught English together in Wuhan (China) for a year, and then moved to Florida so he could attend medical school. Caleb and Ethan were born while we were in Florida, Lydia was born during medical residency in Alabama, and Naomi was born here in Tennessee. We have been very blessed with friends and family along the way. The past few years, our family has put down some roots in our new home of Tennessee. Our children are the joy and the challenge of our lives, and this blog is mostly about them.
