Today's quote has nothing to do with our post, I just found it and thought it was funny.
This is the other new thing that has surfaced since our return from Canada: Munchkin found her fingers. They are fairly effective for short term soothing, but it takes multiple fingers to really do the trick and she is crazy noisy when she sucks on them. She also gets all slobbery when she does it, which wakes her up as well. She's pretty cute though. We'll see if she gets better at it and prefers them to the pacifier. I can't decide which to encourage, and I think the answer is neither, or both, and let her tell me because its how it's going to happen anyway.
Hmm maybe two fingers taste better
The pacifier is still the most effective for long term soothing, but her tongue thrust reflex still kicks it out pretty frequently. She has discovered how to hold it in with a hand or arm, but mostly just happens upon that, she can't do it on purpose.
Fingers are good and aren't even bad for the teeth. Smart girl Addy!
ReplyDeleteIt's true, but they're harder to take away. A paci fairy can wisk them away from big girls, but she certainly can't take your fingers! :) The paci fairy just visited the Fritts household and she traded Maddie a barbie for her last 3 paci's. She had wings and everything!
