Who has two thumbs and doesn't stick them in her mouth any more?
This girl.
Clara has been a very committed thumb sucker since she was about six months old. Four years later... she finally decided it was time to quit. And, oh my, the journey was a bit rough. The first few days she was extremely ornery with wicked mood swings and so, so sensitive. I was really wondering what was going on with her and then, spying the bandaid that prevented the thumb sucking, I realized she's getting over a habit, letting go of her comfort. This was really hard. But she persevered and now, ta da! She's doing really great. (And so are the rest of us, for having lived through her many, gigantic emotions.)
