It's been a monumental past 6 days (yes, we're counting) as Elise has started wearing a thumb guard 24/7 to break her thumb sucking habit! Considering how often she did it during the day and night, she's actually been doing quite well so far. Don't get me wrong-- there's been significantly more crying and almost no napping (which leads to even more crying in the evenings), but it could be much worse, and she's fortunately not putting other objects in her mouth as a replacement. She's going to seem like such a big girl without that thumb in her mouth!
Trying to make that difficult first day more fun with a lunch date at Chick-Fil-A.
She was in mourning the second day.
But I got a brief smile out of her. :)
