Jack found his thumb for good this weekend. It seemed every time we turned around he was sucking on it. I sucked my thumb until I was much too old to be sucking my thumb, and it's fascinating to me how such things seem to have a genetic link. At our 2nd or third trip to the pediatrician, within the first 2 weeks of his life, she noticed that he had found his thumb and asked if either of us were thumb suckers. I confessed and she told me that it probably wasn't worth fighting with him about it, just to be prepared for the orthodontic bills later in life! We'll start saving our pennies!
