Thumb Sucking Son

Ugh!  Today is definitely a Monday!  It started off with Aaron beginning a throwing-up episode (he has abdominal migraines which cause him to throw up constantly for about 2 days...no fun!)  So then began the task of dumping the throw-up bucket and keeping my one year old niece and Nathan away from it - no accidents...yet.  Then Nathan threw a huge tantrum at lunch because he wanted a piece of bread.  "So give him a piece of bread" you say...well the problem is that he is throwing this tantrum while holding a piece of bread.  It was resolved by him throwing his lunch and me putting him to bed.  Phew, I got through the morning and everyone is napping :)

To add to my madness, Travis has picked up a new habit-sucking his thumb.  I try to stop him by giving him his binky but he just spits it out and sticks his thumb in.  (It's not quite that instantaneous;  he is still very uncoordinated so it takes him a while to get his thumb to his mouth.  He usually ends up smacking himself several times before he finds his mouth.  It is pretty funny to watch.)  I know that this is a bad habit and that I should stop it now before it gets harder to break...but it sure makes him content.  He has slept through the night 3 nights in a row now and I really don't want to give that up!  Oh, what am I to do...try to break the habit, or enjoy a full nights sleep?  Right now I am leaning towards sleep...it has been so long and I love it so much!

Happy Monday...I hope that I survive this one!
