I know some people would say about their poor hive-covered, arm-casted toddler
"Poor thing...let's do everything possible to make her comfortable."
I am too opportunistic for that.
Arm in a cast=only one thumb to suck.
Other thumb=covered in band-aid, unable to be picked off due to limited dexterity from cast.
Hives=baby on Benadryl, too tired to cry long about not having a thumb to suck.
We've been unsuccessful in breaking her of her thumb-sucking habit for forever...I'm going to take advantage of this situation. It's perfect, isn't it?
Not quite. Apparently she still can suck her thumb on the casted hand, she just hasn't been. Until now.
Nice try, mom.
