Yes, Hylands you are welcome. I am sure that my constant purchasing of your product helped finance your holiday party this year...yes you guessed it, the boy is teething.
I feel like Finley has been teething perpetually...in a month the child has produced 4 molars...
A friend of mine once told me 'that when they (children) teeth, they go to pot' and I couldn't agree more - During teething time, my child hits, bites, throws toys and yells. I do not know my little boy during these moments but I understand and try to distract.
It amazes me how much his character alters when we go through one of these episodes but more so how much my mood polarises to go with it.
When Finley teeths, I feel as though the whole house teeths, I get anxious about how many calories he is or is not eating, how if he doesn't drink enough milk he will not have a correct fat intake for the day and worry about the night, will he or won't he wake up crying and wake the neighbours. He is a total night time waker and usually it takes me climbing in to the crib with him to pacify him enough to get him back off to sleep, so needless to say that throughout our teething experience together, we both are exhausted physically and mentally.
But the minute that we see that little bit of white brushing on surface of his gums, the rosy cheeks recede and the drool dries it is as glorious as seeing a rainbow after the rain. All is back to normal, nap times are back on schedule, meals are being consumed by the plate full. The boy is back...all is well, except this Mama is exhausted!
