Terrible Teething as preparation for Terrible Two's?????

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is the sound you will hear most often from my house these days. It comes with the most pitiful alligator tears and is sure to make your heart sad. Nothing seems to help, and we have tried it all. Natural teething tablets, Tylenol, ibuprofen, cold washrags, fingers, all manner of chew toys, slushy filled "baby safe feeders", you name it we've used it.

It has been FUN. Poor little guy. We are pleased to finally have the tiniest white dot of confirmation that we are at least making progress with the pain. With a little more growth I might even get a picture :). It should be a trophy to remember forever as hard as he has worked on it!

Sleep has been a thing of chaos, he either does it well or not at all...there is NO compromise. You can generally tell by his naps, or lack thereof, how your night is going to be. I used to say you could tell how night time sleep would go based on how fussy and "chewy" he was during the day, sadly all our days are that way now.

Trying to keep him entertained and distracted from the pain has been beyond exhausting. He lasts at any given tasks for 5-10 minutes before you have to get creative and come up with something new and exciting. On any given day you can find us running around like an ADHD circus trying to make the little guy happy in any way possible!

Having cut wisdom teeth in a most painful manner I understand a bit of what he is going through and wish I could tell him it will be okay, they will come through...but WHEN? Oh little pearly whites please join us soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
