When I noticed (a long time ago) that Luke had a penchant for finger sucking I started taping the one he was sucking because he would do it all the time, not just when he was tired. I'd tape the thumb, he'd move onto the pointer finger; I'd tape that one and he'd move on to the middle finger or one on his other hand. At some point I must have missed the boat because he ended up 'hooked' on the middle finger on his left hand.
For over a month now we've been taping it from the time he gets up until bedtime or he'd have it in his mouth the whole time. Granted, he doesn't suck any of the other fingers anymore, but he'd have this one permanently inserted in his mouth if it weren't for the tape! My other thumb suckers never sucked their thumb outside of being very tired or at naptime and I hope Luke gets the message soon so we can move on from the daily tape routine.
This picture makes me want to go get him and snuggle him!
