thumb-sucking gangsta

November 10, 2011

gangsta baby

Look how gangsta my baby guy is–sucking his thumb while flashing his allegiance to the West Coast. Considering I grew up a commuter train-ride away from New York City, I would’ve pegged Levi for an East Coast kiddo. Guess he really enjoyed all that California sunshine two weeks ago!

Oh, and we’re sucking our thumbs now. Well, Levi is. Actually, he’s sucking his whole hand and anything else that comes close to his mouth. It’s pretty cute watching him try to find his fingers after he loses his pacifier. The other day he looped his thumb around the pacifier’s handle and then stuck it — not the pacifier! — back into his mouth. So silly!

Before he was born, JB and I debated the pros and cons of letting him use a pacifier vs. sucking his thumb. We didn’t want him to become dependent on a pacifier, but we knew we could eventually take it away from him. Breaking the thumb-sucking habit is apparently more challenging. Eventually we let him have a pacifier because it satisfied his desire to suck, and it did its job of helping to pacify him. As for the thumb-sucking, he found his fingers on his own, so I’m not really sure how to prevent it from happening!

What are your thoughts on pacifiers vs. thumb-sucking?

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!
