Just after Thanksgiving we decided to let Levi start crying it out at night since he was waking up just out of habit, rather than being actually hungry. It was a rough two days where he woke up a few times and cried for quite some time, but then would eventually fall back asleep. I’m always amazed at how it only take a couple of days and then they’ve got it.
HOWEVER, in this case, he found his thumb.
It’s just so cute, isn’t it?
Since then, he’s been on and off sucking his thumb, so I’m not entirely sure it’s going to stick–which is really ok with me. I was hoping to avoid having a thumb sucker just because it’s harder to get them to quit! I can take a Nuk away, but I can’t take a hand away! But I had to weigh whether getting a full night’s sleep was important enough to me to let him find his thumb. And lo and behold, it is. 🙂 I love my sleep.
The only other drawback we’re having recently is that he scratches his face more since his fingers are right there. I feel like I have to trim his nails every other day now! And as the saying goes: “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” haha!
That last paragraph just cracks me up!!
