Out with the paci...

...In with the thumb!  My little girl is taking after her momma and has become a thumb sucker.  Embarrassingly enough, I sucked my thumb until I was (ahem) eleven and I came out alright (i.e. never needed braces & no speech issues), so I'm encouraged.  It's wonderful not having to get up and give her a pacifier in the middle of the night.  It's also nice not worrying about making sure I have spare pacifiers packed in the diaper bag.  Not to mention, it's so stinkin' adorable!

I love it! And, yep, believe it or not, I too sucked my thumb until 4th grade! haha Didn't know we shared such an endearing quality. ;) Sounds like a great deal too - not having to worry about the pacis, etc. I might kick myself, but I think I'll hope our next one is a thumb sucker too now!
