So Joey's finally figured it out. The last couple weeks or so he's been sucking on his fingers, and today, he finally found his thumb. I know that sounds silly, but when he makes a fist, he tucks his thumb under his fingers, so he usually just ends up sucking his index finger. This afternoon, it was all thumb. Daddy's not too thrilled about it, but being an ex-thumb-sucker myself, I only look at the bright side - we won't have to wake up in the middle of the night to put his thumb in his mouth like we do sometimes with the pacifier. And we don't have to worry about his thumb falling on the floor (although Lord knows how dirty his hands really are).
"School" is going much better, too. He slept really well yesterday (for him, anyway), and still fell asleep before 8pm last night. He woke up at midnight, and then not again until 3:45, so it wasn't too bad. Except for the snow we had AGAIN, which meant both Mommy and Daddy had to be up early to get ready for work. But we're figuring it out.
