Is my LITTLE boy gone?

DJ: Mom, I need to tell you something.

Me: What's that DJ?

DJ: I decided I'm not going to suck my thumb anymore.

Me: Why not?

DJ: Because it pushes my teeth forward.

He did really good all day today too. No thumb sucking. I'm hoping he'll stick to it but this boy has been attached to his thumb since he was 4 months old.

**POST EDIT** Like I said he did good all day. I could tell he was making an effort not to put his thumb in his mouth. This morning when we woke up him and AJ were playing and AJ made him mad. All of a sudden he comes running screaming, "Fine, I'm just going to suck my thumb then." That was it. Thumb sucking returned.
