Thumbs

"Oh, the thumb-sucker's thumb
May look wrinkled and wet
And withered, and white as the snow
But the taste of a thumb is the sweetest taste yet
As only we thumb-suckers know."
-Shel Silverstein
Jack has discovered that his thumb is a wonderful instrument for sucking. He has never really taken to a binky. I think his thumb-sucking is his way of comforting himself. It does keep him occupied and quiet for at least half an hour at a time. Sometimes he'll try to stick him thumb into his mouth while he is nursing.
I'm not worrying about it to much just yet. If it does become a problem I have a treatment for fingers that should hopefully help him kick the habit.
