Teething Bites

But, first, a cute photo of a group reading session w/ Aunty Nica, Uncle Jeff and Cousin Bump

Yesterday, Nolan woke from his second nap (had played himself out all day) with a hue and cry- and when Mike was trying to console him, gave a ferocious bite (he usually doesn't bite Mike)- leaving a smear of blood behind. Had Nolan actually gone cannibal? No- he was teething so badly he was BLEEDING from the gums, and was just beside himself. He seems to have bilateral molars and canines coming in at the same time- Yowtch. Copious ibuprofen is keeping it kind of OK but he gets very labile emotionally and he isn't sleeping well.

What a silly system- to have sensitive developing toddlers have to go through terrible gnawing pain just to be able to eat carrot sticks eventually. Nolan seems to have inherited Mike's teeth- BIG teeth. His baby teeth are as big as some people permanent choppers- given his slight underbite (cute, not weird- looking fortunately) I do worry there will be overcrowding, and orthodontics in the future.


Enough about teeth- some utterances:


All gone, alldone, all gone - always in sequence. In cased you missed the fact that whatever it is, is it no longer there, it's not going, nope, nada.

Sorry! To a little girl who netted a time out for pushing him down- after he pushed her first.

Home Home Home!!! - On the way home from a party at a neighbours, tired.

Car!- He just is loving then right now.

Off???? - I'd like to go turn that light off now.

Dooooor??? - I'm going to knock at the door, come in, say "Shee You!" and go out, again and again. Thanks.

Gotta work on a talk for work, got to go.
