Some children have a beloved blankie. Others, like my nieces, cherish their pacifiers. My daughter, however, has a deep, loyal devotion to her belly button. When in distress, Ainsley's fingers go to the mouth and to the button. A faithful friend her belly button is turning out to be. Whenever I put her in a onesie, she desperately scrapes at the fabric to get to the button, usually resulting in much weeping. Is it wrong that I find the whole episode quite adorable?
My littlest sister was the same way! Thumb in the mouth and finger in the belly button. Have you read Sandra Boynton's "The Belly Button Book" to her?
