Sleep Update

Because I know you've all been on the edge of your seat waiting to hear how we're fairing on the matter of sleep, I have good news. After five loooong days with much crying, from both of us, and very little sleep, I think we might finally be back on track. Sans thumbsucking. It seems that Sophie has kicked the habit. Cold turkey. It took her a few days to adjust to sleeping without her thumb but adjust she has. I was in denial at first, thinking the thumb would come back. I even tried to force her little thumb into her mouth a few times. That worked about as well as trying to thread a piece of cooked spaghetti through the eye of a needle. Which is to say, it didn't. Pretty ridiculous that I would be trying to force her back into a habit that I would likely someday be wishing she didn't have, but at 4am it seemed VERY rational.

I probably shouldn't be talking about this because as we all know, there is no better way to ruin a good thing than to talk about how great it is. So let's pretend this conversation never happened, okay? Stimulating as it's been, I don't think that will be hard for most of you.

Updated to add: She tanked her afternoon nap. I should never have said anything. The nap gods are angry with me.
