Z.M.C. - Thumb sucker

Zachary is getting quite proficient at sucking his thumb. It is a good 'clue' to when he is getting tired and ready for a nap. He also uses it during the night to go back to sleep if he awakens. I'll wake up to the sounds of some serious slurping. Mostly he would rather have his pacifier to start off with, and then when he's more calm, switch to the thumb; other times he prefers his thumb. He's come a long way from trying to stick his entire fist -in his mouth, which he still does when he's REALLY tired. Or when he's starting to get very hungry. Hopefully he'll grow out of it on his own - before he starts school - but for now it's nice that he is able to self-soothe. It is amusing when he trys to get BOTH thumbs in his mouth - I'll try to get a picture of that!
