I hate baby teeth. They keep my son up at night, crying with pain which means they are keeping me up at night and then tired at work the next day. Sure, it’s nice that my toddler has teeth so he can eat but he can’t eat when they have his mouth swollen and throbbing so he’s been eating a lot of yogurt, bananas and cold milk. When he’s hungry, he taken to whining by the frig and when I open it, grabbing yogurt. Poor little buddy.
Lil B’s teeth definitely take after my side of the family – full of gaps. I ask him to “show me his teeth” and he opens up and says “AHHHHH” as loud as he can. I try to see how things are looking but he won’t let me touch! His favorite activity, brushing his teeth, has become a chore because who wants to brush your mouth when it hurts?
Lil B has been living on ibuprofen for about two days now. He’s crabby, clingy and plain ole tired. He is now back to taking two naps a day. I will be so happy when this set of canines come in but then he’s in for the ultimate pain – 2 year molars soon enough. I’ll be happy when they’re all in and he’s back to being a happy camper.
In other Lil B news, last night he looked at the tv during Dora and exclaimed “MONKEY!!!” “Boo Boo” after this book that was recently given to us. It was so cute but hasn't happened since.

Smart Kid!
Awww, poor punkin', it's a rough time- for everybody. I hope it passes pretty soon for ya'lls. Hang in there. :o)
Try freezing small pieces of banana - cut the banana up, then put the pieces on wax paper (on top of a cookie sheet or something similar) and stick it in the freezer. Once the pieces are individually frozen, you can put them in a ziploc baggie.
Lil B should love these pieces as a snack - nice and cold, and yummy too. Be careful, though, because they get messy when they defrost, so dole them out carefully.
Also, I found sticking a wet baby washcloth into a ziploc and freezing it creates a good teething tool. Make sure you take it out of the ziploc before giving it to him, though. :)
You'll survive this. At least mostly.
Missy! That is a great idea. He's actually finally through it all. Brian called me this morning and said he's been playing in his room the past hour.
Sounds like Ben is a rough teether - poor parents! If it's any consolation, I think the canines are worse than the two year molars...
