People are mixed on their reviews of the thumb. Pediatricians say it’s good, Dentists say it’s bad. I think the only experts that really count are moms. After little Lucy got out of the tub (there’s something about her dreamy skin right out of the bath that is pretty much irresistible), I laid her on the floor so I could get her dressed. Then, right before my eyes she just started sucking her thumb! I giggled out loud, started clapping like I was in junior high, and grabbed a nearby camera to document this momentous occasion. Personally, I think it’s cute. I also think it’s great for her to find something to suck on that doesn’t have to be a plastic “please don’t fall on the ground so we have to boil it” binky or me. I’m thrilled… and you know what, I’ll just start saving now to pay for braces.
