Although I was a thumb-sucking fool myself, I have mixed emotions about Rex being one. Not that he even is one but it seems to be happening more and more lately and I fear that's where he's headed. It was so hard to get me to stop- you can't take a thumb away from a kid, after all. My mom also tells me about how my thumb would get all chapped and cracked in the winter. With the winters here, I'm sure it would be even worse for Rex. I don't exactly know what to do about it or what I want to do. Let him go ahead? Try to get him to use a pacifier instead? I'm sure there are a thousand opinions and ideas out there which makes it even harder to know what to do for him. We'll figure it out though, I imagine.

Dr. Nielsen asked me if I ever saw an adult sucking their thumb and carrying a blanket. I said, "No." Then he said, "Well, she (Shelby)won't either." And Rex won't either so don't feel bad if you choose not to try and break him of the habit. He may not even LIKE a pacifier.....you did NOT!! Love to you all.....Rex's NANA
XOXOXOXOXO
Soooo cute!
I think it's pretty cute...for now at least :). I have had 13 year old students who sucked their thumbs in class...and I had one that told me both her parents sucked their thumbs into their 20s when they weren't in public (!!!!). However, I think boys must give it up easier than girls, b/c I never had a male student that did it. I'm sure it'll be fine.
