Grace's Favourite thumb

Grace loves to suck her thumb. We tried stopping her by giving her pacifier.. she sucked so hard for a while but spitted it out. I guess she was thinking.. stop kidding me, there's no milk coming out from this thing! so, it didn't work. I also spent few days sitting beside her and took her thumb out when she tried to put in her mouth... but it didn't work. Although many people asked me to stop her from doing it, however, it's a very convenient 'pacfier', now, she would suck her thumb and be very happy about it. I don't have to sterilize it. It's her favourite thumb.So I just let her do it. I gave up.

This morning, mummy had tummy ache. It was soooooooooooooooooo painful. I told girl girl that mummy is having tummy ache, and i guess she understood. I was lying beside her and she started sucking her favourite thumb. It definitely looks like she is enjoying it so much and it is so delicious. So i asked her, Baby, is your thumb delicious? it must be delicious ya, it looks so yummy, can u let mummy suck too? ok, now mummy opens mummy's mouth, you put in mummy's mouth and let mummy sucks ok ?
she paused for a while......................... then she took out her thumb and put her hand in my mouth ! Gosh ! i was shocked! and I was sooooo touched! my tears rolled down my cheek again. I wasn't expecting that as i didn't know she could understand and could do what i asked her to. I don't believe it's a coincident as she never put her hands in our mouth before. I appreciate my 5 months old daughter sacrificing her favourite thumb for mummy. Baby! Mummy Loves you ! It's definitely God's grace to have given you to us! Thank you God!
