well that's the thumb sucking done for this unfortunate little one. upon scooping up something up a few days ago in madeline's room and playing with it, we quickly discovered it was broken glass! but he had already cut a huge gash in his thumb, there was blood everywhere and to the dr we went.
the dr cleaned it up again, checked there was no glass in it and then bandaged it up and said it's going to have to stay on for a few days... which he was so upset about. he'd keep trying to suck his thumb then getting upset that he couldn't and then of course didn't want to go to sleep, but eventually settled and drifted off. he made sure that we knew he was unimpressed though.
we got there eventually and when the bandage finally came off and he looked like he was going to go back to thumb sucking, we quickly shoved a bandaid on it and told him it was still sore - i figured if we were this far in, it wasn't time to give up - and sure enough we made it! we are thumb sucking free!
i really felt so sorry for the poor little dude, but i am so happy that we didn't have to do it when he was even older, maddie is 9 and still going strong sucking her fingers, i have no idea how we are going to get around that one. ugh.
