Rough going

By way of a thumb-sucking update, it's going well during the day. I kept the band-aid off last night and he didn't even try to suck his thumb while we were watching a movie, which has usually been a prime sucking opportunity.

At night... well, that's an entirely different story. The first night it took him almost two hours to go to sleep; this after not napping during the day and being extremely tired. Last night was even worse. He was still up after midnight. At about 11:30pm I gave up and took the band-aid off, knowing it was probably the wrong decision, but just hoping he would be able to get some sleep. Much to my surprise, he still didn't suck his thumb! Unfortunately that meant he didn't fall asleep either.

We're about to head into another naptime, so I'm hoping that our adventures at the park this morning have worn him out enough to let him nap instead of getting into mischief. We shall see....
