Jensyn used a pacifier when she was tiny. One day, when she was a few months old, she spit it out and popped her thumb into her mouth. Just like that, she became a thumb sucker. I really don’t mind. It’s cute, she can’t lose it, and (eventually…) she’ll grow out of it.
She still loves to have things in her mouth, though, and we often find a dog toy (eww!), a plastic tool from her big brothers, or some other strange object in her mouth. Lately, it’s been this plastic mushroom:
It’s shaped a lot like a paci. Can you blame her for wanting it?
What happens when the mushroom falls out?
(That’d be the mushroom in front of her chest, falling to the ground…)
Poor baby!
LOL that is hilarious! It looks just like a paci!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteLOL! My daughter has the same toy mushroom and has done the same thing a few times! Unfortunately, the thumb always wins and here were are at almost 3 and still thumb sucking Booo!
ReplyDeleteHa, Sandra! I'm not surprised, as it's easy to see why a little one would confuse it with a pacifier. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with ending the thumb sucking. My parents dipped thumb in vinegar when I was little, and I STILL sucked my thumb...
