I've never been much of a fan of the dummy and my right thumb has become my comfort, it goes in when I am trying to get to sleep, when I am hungry or when Mum and Dad forget to leave some toys within reach for me to play with. But I must have been overdoing it a bit lately because my poor little right thumb has got very red and Mum is worried that the skin might blister and so she has been trying to discourage me from using it. However, my left thumb is just not the same and I am quite a persistent little fellow so I have kept on sucking it.
It came to a head today when Mum covered my right hand with a sock to try and give my thumb a rest. This was OK when I was awake (except that I couldn't play with my toys properly and Mum was worried that it might force me to become left handed!) but when I needed to sleep, it just wasn't possible without my beloved right thumb. Mum soon realised this and unleashed my right hand after which sleep came quickly. Then she sneaked in while I was asleep and smeared cream all over my thumb, it didn't seem to bother me and the thumb was licked clean by the time I woke up!
