Toothfully
We took Tebow to his first Auburn football game last weekend. It was pretty nice of us since he has been pretty mean to us ever since. I mean really, how hard is it to grow teeth?
According to Tebow, it is pretty awful. I mean for all the fussing, crying, and outright screaming we have endured recently, it seems pretty awful. I haven’t had to grow teeth in quite some time, so really the details are fuzzy. Apparently I did it though, since I still have most of my teeth. I say, if I can do it, so can Tebow! Quit yer whining, kid!
Kidding aside (you know I’m kidding, right?), it has been a pretty intense teething experience. I don’t remember Fuller being this much of a handful. We have plenty of Hyland’s teething tablets, orajel, and Tylenol to help ease the pain, but sometimes nothing seems to help. And because he is currently working on a top tooth (which I finally figured out when he was screaming and arching his back, making the tooth visible), it seems he is loathe to eat because the bottle bothers him. Don’t even try to stick a finger in his mouth, because that just makes him scream more.
We did get a break today when he took the longest nap he has had all week- two hours (usually they are 45 minutes to an hour). But he has already been up twice since he went down around 8, so I’m sure there is more to come.
Maybe he’s mad at you because it dawned on him that he’s sitting there at an Auburn game all decked out in Auburn gear and he’s got the name of the FLORIDA quarterback! LOL
On a more serious note, all 3 of mine who have teeth ate orajel like it was candy when they were teething. And I always bought the nighttime formula hoping there was something in there to knock them out.
