A Hole In One

Free at last!
Just as she began to acquire thumb-sucking skills, the mittens have come back to protect Clara from spreading the impetigo. She is trying so hard to keep that thumb in her mouth, and we have agreed that it is so cute, and clearly makes her happy, it's worth the enormous cost of orthodontia. Aunt Kim, a notorious thumb sucker for much longer than she'd care to admit, felt the only fair thing would be to cut a hole in a  mitten for her thumb. This little Sweet Pea is such a distraction that last night's business meeting took many hours longer than planned, and was interrupted by posing and picture taking:

"Now, where does this thumb go?"
"Some day I'll figure this out"
"Oh well, I'll nap with cousin
Doobie, that is equally
satisfying"
