Thumb Sucking

Joy popped her thumb into her mouth while we were at a shop this afternoon. She does that whenever she's sleepy; usually not for long, anyway. She doesn't suck on it constantly like Faith used to; she'd just suck on it on and off. The salesgirl who was trying to be friendly with us took her thumb out gently and said no, no. I wasn't really thinking, but I just matter-of-factly put it straight back into Joy's mouth and said, 'Oh, it's ok, she does it all the time. She's sleepy.' Really...I really didn't mean to embarrass her; but I really meant too, that it's ok for my baby to suck her thumb. ;p Faith outgrew that in her own time anyway. Whatever they say...doesn't bother me.
