Day 16: Blankets & Thumbs

I guess I'm on a roll with Melanie stories. Not only was she my biggest baby- she was my only child who sucked her thumb. Just thinking about this endearing habit of hers makes my heart smile.

Melanie had a little routine to suck her thumb. First she had to find her soft pastel multi colored
blanket with fringes around the edges. Then she would take a section of the fringe roll it around her fingers in her left hand while she put the thumb of her right hand in her mouth. She would gently fall asleep dreaming sweet dreams- and look completely angelic too. (This picture was taken in 1996- Melanie was three years old)
