Well, chalk it up to the long, looooooooooong list of parenting opinions that bit the dust when I became a mother. My girls sucked their binkies like they were sugar-coated and necessary for life and happiness. Briggs, on the other hand, will take one for about 2.1 seconds before it pops right back out of his mouth.
But he started to do this...
And this new trick magically coincided with an ability to sleep through the night.
So yeah, I'm pretty much converted. Sleep, glorious sleep, wins out once again. And besides, if there are some teeth that need a little fixing in this family, well, luckily I happen to know a pretty great orthodontist.

So much goes out the window wiht each subsequent child. We did everything by the book with the first, and one by one I've let go of so many of my ideals. We do what we can to survive with the additional challenge of each child! People always told me that his would happen to me and I said that I would prove them wrong that I would never be THAT parent. Never say never right? :)
Sleep trumps thumb sucking any day! Briggs is SO CUTE!!!
That's pretty funny. Glad you're just going to embrace it and get some sleep though- I would definitely do the same.
Jacy - I think you traded perfect mama for smart mama. I'll take sleep over thumb sucking anyday!
