Similar to when Evie told Daddio she didn't want the training wheels on her bike, then was riding without them completely one day later, she told Daddio last night that she didn't want him to take the "thumb stuff" off for bed that night. Seeing her determination to master the two-wheel bike, we are hopeful this is the end of the thumb forever.
I was in complete shock when Jason told me that Evie fell asleep last night without her thumb (I was at a meeting for bedtime). AND there were no tears! This is the day I wanted to come; the day when SHE wanted to stop, not US forcing her to stop.
Tonight was night two of falling asleep without her thumb. This is huge people; this girl has been sucking her thumb to soothe herself at bed for five years. Cold turkey is hard. Last night it meant that she needed some middle of the night snuggles from mama to help her get back to sleep.
Is this the end????
