In what could be an exciting development, after two and a half months of hard effort, Leni seems to have mastered the thumb suck. I put her down for her nap, and she started to cry - she is not a fan of the seperation. I determined how long I would let her cry, and tried to keep myself occupied. When I checked on her after my shower (ahhh.... to be clean), she was - yes - sucking her thumb. She had cried out twice, but then magically finds it again, and is asleep once more. This could be the beginning of a great relationship. (In the back of my head I think - I'm going to have to break her of this habit some day - but for today I am just grateful that she is learning to help herself sleep.)
