Lila's Deepest Desire

Trying so hard!
Beyond frustrated
Then back to normal!

Lila's deepest desire is to figure out how to suck her thumb again. Kevin took pictures of her sucking her thumb ten minutes after she was born so we assume she was sucking it in the womb as well. She's having great difficulty finding her thumb now, despite her admirable and never-ending efforts. She tries one fist at a time, she tries both fists at a time, she sucks her arm (in case she was totally wrong about the original location) and then cries. The $30 worth of pacifiers we own don't cut the mustard; she wants her thumb.
