Piper's Thumb

We're trying to encourage Piper to keep her thumb out of her mouth. She's been a thumb sucker since she was two months. What follows is a quick conversation we had in the car earlier this week.

Me: Can you take your thumb out of your mouth for me?

Piper: (Still sucking her thumb.) Shakes her head "no."

Me: Why not?

Piper: Because this is the thumb's home.

This has made my morning- sounds like good reasoning to me. So cute. Hope Elle is still enjoying school!

What a cutie. I love that. Big old grin on my face now.

So, my 17year old sister is still a thumb sucker... They tried everything. She's eased up a lot on it though - but when she's sleeping... that thumb goes right on home.

:)

Have a great weekend

Well, of COURSE her mouth is the thumb's home. Makes perfect sense to me.

Monica-
Love reading about you and your family- The Chumbleys sure do miss you guys- We have grown to a new number of FIVE- yes, I gave birth to another baby boy in June- My Kaitlyn can so relate to the "home" for a thumb- Have to love the views of children! Much love - Kimberly

She's right, you know! You can't argue with that answer. Hee hee.

At least her thumb's home isn't in her nose like some little ones.

I could have sworn I left a comment on this one. Evidently, I AM losing my mind.

We too need to work on Cade with the thumb sucking. Is it driving you nuts as much as it is me? Cade just tells me he needs it. Not at the play ground you don't! UGH!
