I've Thrown my Pacifier out of my Crib . . . Now What?

Declan has lately decided to mess around instead of going to sleep. I remember when Payden did it, and it STILL drives me nuts!!! He likes to throw his pacifier and blankie out of the crib and then cry so that we'll come give them to him. What he doesn't realize is that I'm onto this little game of his. Generally what I do is leave him for an hour to give him time to work it out. If he's still awake after an hour, then I go in, rock him again, tuck him in again, and leave. He almost always goes back to sleep at that point.


I guess this day after tossing out his pacifier and blankie and after the crying didn't bring me in to return the items to him, he decided to use his thumb and fell asleep that way. When I went in to make sure he'd finally gone to sleep, this is what I found.


It is super cute!!! I'm just glad he doesn't do this on a regular basis. It took me until I was 6ish before I FINALLY stopped sucking my thumb. Since he doesn't EVER suck his thumb, I can look at this and think how cute he looks sucking on his thumb!!
