m’s best friend has been sabotaged.. in a bid to get him to stop sucking his thumb, H applied some anti-sucking lotion on it while he was asleep at night. m woke up a couple of times asking for water, and finally told me that there was a ‘smell’ somewhere.. this morning he had the most piteous look on his face, his mouth all down turned and quivering, unable to figure out what had suddenly happened to his thumb and why there was an awful taste in his mouth.
I had to physically stop myself from hugging him, wiping off
the medicine and telling him everything was fine. Sigh. I may be a bigger wuss
than him! What will I do later, when bad things out of my control upset him??!

Oh, I get it. You have to do it, but it is so hard to see them so sad. Even if you know it will be better for them in the long run. Hang in there.
