My Daniel just turned 5 and sucks his thumb exactly the same way. He usually does it when he is tired. One of the last baby things I see in my son...so I do enjoy a good thumbsucking!!

I'd be the same way...once he's home and yours forever...YOU make the rules (and I have a feeling that boy will be able to suck his thumb anytime he wants :):).Lisa (DanielsMommy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15137345504661607185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434202048056046520.post-64337321628259748182010-06-16T10:40:45.420-07:002010-06-16T10:40:45.420-07:00Oh man is he a good lookin' boy!

He didn't want to wear shorts without tights, either. I bet the nannys would flip out if you took of J's shoes and socks.

Contrary to whatyou've seen in your city, we've seen TONS of kids out here in Zaporozhye. The moms have them out at the parks, shopping, getting ice cream cones...they are very much a part of the city life here in Zap. <br /><br />Joseph is a sweetie and seems very smart! Can't wait for the visits to be over for you guys. We're hopefully going to have just one more visit before we can claim our prize! :)<br /><br />Take Care!<br />KristinKristin Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420096126951493195noreply@blogger.com
