I just thought that I'd mention that we're usingthe Thum stuff that my cousin Rachel recommended. It tastes pretty bad as Matt and I can attest to. It's like using Mase - you have to know what you're inflicting before you inflict pain. Unfortunately it's not the great cure we were hoping for. It definitely has cut his sucking 75%, but he doesn't have it on (it's like nail polish) all the time.
Rachel - should we be worried if he licks it then rubs his eyes with it?
The other night we were having canned peaches for dinner. Kristin cut Jason's up into bite-size pieces, but it was still to slippery for him to catch with a fork. I came up with a good idea - I took out a toothpick for him. You could tell he really enjoyed stabbing his pieces. He was on a rapid stab, put in mouth, swallow, stab again-cycle.
Lastly, Suzanne and I have to comment on the way Kristin's brain works. It really is odd how her imagination runs away from her.
We were in the nosebleed seats at the football game last nite. Before halftime, the band started practicing underneath us. All you could really hear was the thumping and crashing of the percussion. Kristin's first thought was "Is someone doing something bad to the stadium??"
Here's my favorite part:
Her next thought was, "Is there not anybody who's going to do something about it?" I love my wife and just smile when she lets thoughts like these enter her pretty little mind . . .

I may not have been visitor 10,000, but I most certainly was visitor # 11,111!!!!!!
Sad to say...I probably would have thought the same thing. It must be in the genes. :)
I know it makes me a huge dork but I probably would have known it was the band. Oh the good old days.
I was bad as a kid and would alway just suck off whatever nasty stuff my mom put on my thumb until it was gone. One night they put a packing tube on my arm when I went to bed so I couldn't suck my thumb and I woke up the next morning so sore I never did it again.
Will, I looked it up and if Jason gets the Thum stuff in his eyes, it may sting a little. The product has a vegetable oil in it. It is recommended to wash his eyes out with cold water. You could probably just use a wash cloth. I'm glad it kinda worked. Sometimes it is just something he has to decide to do on his own. Just depends on how stubborn the kid is.
Or you could just cut his thumbs off. No more nasty stuff in the eyes.
