Last week I told Blake he was now 4 1/2 as of the 22nd. He got all wide-eyed and started asking a bunch of questions. Then, later that day or the next, he announced that he would no longer suck his thumb because he was now 4 1/2. Another time later that day, he ran into the room, threw his blankie at me, and said, "Give this to someone else." And ran out. WHaa!?
He always sucked his thumb while holding onto his blanket. But now, suddenly and just like that, he's done with it. Sniff...

Then, last night as I was folding laundry (including his blankets to put away), he said, "Let me just try it again." He lay his head on the bed where the blanket was, held onto it for a split second while testing his thumb in his mouth again, stood up, and said, "Yuk." I guess that's that!!!
