Thanksgiving ... a time for friends, family, and turkey. George was thrilled to have Auntie Becky and Grandma Rose join the Olcocks for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but he found the bird to be a bit of a let down (though I am still very thankful for John's efforts at making the meal, Becky's sweet additions of mulled cider and vanilla custard pie, and Grandma's brilliant photos of the event). Maybe it was our fault for building up his big bird dreams when watching the Muppets Take Manhattan (Big Bird has a short cameo in the movie). George joined us at the table and surprised us all by locating my thumb and sucking away. We later tried to give him a pacifier, but it was no contest; he wanted the thumb, and only the thumb (or the occasional fingers, arm, or entire hand).
