Fingers No More

It was in October that Matthew stopped sucking his fingers during the day. That was HUGE and took about a week!* Since then, he has still been sucking his fingers at night. Barely, but nonetheless, they are still popping in. Until tonight. My plan was to help him stop in 2 weeks, just before his next dentist appointment (figured that could be good encouragement and an understandable reminder to him). But tonight, completely on his own, the habit that began when he was four months old (old enough to take that pacifier out and get to the good stuff) ended. Just. Like. That. 

Above: Matthew sucking his beloved fingers at four months of age. This is also when he met Raisin, his monkey. At the age of 2, he added the pinkey.

*What helped him stop? He had to wash his hands every time he put his fingers in his mouth.
