Soothers. Thumbs.Various other objects of questionable origin. My kids are obssessed with sucking. The pacifier was Avery’s lifeline. Kieran has chosen the always-available thumb as his particular passion. This is good and bad. I will never have to get up in the middle of the night to pick up a soother off the floor and give it back to him. His thumb is always accessible. However, it is slightly more complicated to take it away when the time comes.
