First night with no fingers....tear

Well I bought that nasty tasting fingernail polish and painted all over little Cash's right fingers and let me just tell you it was horrific! I felt so bad. I was ready to take it off and let him suck his fingers TO HIS LITTLE HEART’S CONTENT, even if he's still doing it when he starts school! He stayed in the kitchen drinking milk and screaming and spitting in the trash can for the first hour and then went to eating ice because he would forget and get that nasty taste was in his mouth all over again! Poor baby. I finally laid down with him and he just wiggled and fidgeted all in bed asking me to take it off so he could suck his fingers. Finally after laying on me, playing with my hair, and holding my hands he fell asleep....I don't know if I can do it again tomorrow! This kind of stuff usually doesn't bother me but he's pitiful. If I weren't worried about his teeth I'd for sure say to heck with IT!! We'll see how tomorrow goes....
