We Can't Stop Him!

Last week, Quin and I made a trip to his doctor to take a look at his thumb. Unfortunately Quin is still quite the little thumb sucker. On average, this kid probably sucks his thumb about 70% of the time he is awake, and who knows how much of the time while he is in bed. As you can imagine, any body part wet for 8+ hours a day would get pretty pickled. Not only his thumb wrinkly and gross looking, but the fingernail has pretty much been sucked off. The pediatrician actually recommended that we convince Quin to stop sucking it. That is easier said than done. We actually bought the stuff that you are supposed to paint on their finger (it is supposed to taste bad and make them not want their thumb), tried it, and discovered that Quin likes the way it tastes! So next, we tried simply putting clear nail polish on his nail to protect the small amount that remained. He though that was a game and proceeded to chew it off. I tried telling him "no" every time he sucked it, but that turned into a game too (seeing as I was saying it every five seconds). At this point, we are out of options! Poor little guy! I don't know what to do next!
