My Daughter is Weird

She really is.  When I put El down for a nap and she gets her thumb into her mouth, I can just leave the room knowing she's down for the count.  Or when she's getting tired, she'll pop her thumb into her mouth and I'll know it's time for a nap, which is great.  But here's the thing - she won't just find her thumb when I put her down.  She'd rather lay there, squirming and fussing with her eyes closed.  For a few days, I'd give her a pacifier for a few minutes until her eyes started to droop, and then pull it out and she'd replace it with her thumb.  Now I just take her hand and move it to her face, thinking the entire time, "Really, El?  You can't do this yourself?"

Of course, I'm just happy that she naps at all.  Still. . .she's a little weird.  And adorable.
