Ethan loves having a cup of cold water, dipping his binkie in it, and then sucking on it. He will do it over and over and over again. Well, this morning I was on the computer and heard some noises in the bathroom. I walk in there and he is standing there DIPPING HIS BINKIE IN THE TOILET! I about died. He must have thought he had died and gone to heaven with that gigantic "glass of water" to dunk his binkie in. Who knew those toilet straps they actually sell for babyproofing might come in handy??
Today I believe we have reached teething hell. Ethan has been a wonderful teether and I have always wondered what usually happens with other kids because they haven't seemed to bother him before. He's had eight teeth for a long time, 4 on top and 4 on bottom. Last week, he got one of the right bottom molars, and a couple days ago he got one of the left bottom molars. He's been a drool machine with a runny nose, but that's about it. Today was a completely different story! His left canine tooth is coming in now, and he turned into a little monster at times. He was mean and fussy most of the day! He would get into things over and over that he normally does not do, would throw a fit at the drop of a hat, hardly wanted to eat, and even scoffed at his fave cheese and crackers. The old ice cube in the mesh feeder was a godsend at dinner time, and then Daddy went out to get some of the Hyland Teething Tablets I've been hearing about and it really worked wonders for him. It was close to bedtime, but he had been super fussy after dinner, and he really seemed to calm down and not be in pain pretty quickly after taking the tablets. I hope they make him feel better!
