Teeth

Teeth, any mother who has had a child knows how horrible teeth are. With Missy Moo being 2, I had forgotten how awful those first few teeth are. Not only had I forgotten but I had been slightly insensitive to my wee man. Yes that's right I was telling my 5 month old off, like he can understand me!

It's been a long 4 days and 2 of those days hubby was home so we both had been walking around with him going OH MY GOD WHY WON'T YOU SLEEP. We went for walks, drives in the car but nothing seems to have helped the wee man. The sad thing is I have amber teething beads on him, imagine what it was like if I didn't. Today was breaking point. I haven't been able to put him down. My Master Bubble has turned into Darth Vader! Ok so a slight exagertation but only a little. After trying for over an hour to put him to sleep, with him contorting his head into various positions to either, watch tv (little tvaholic) or his sister and being upset. I put him in his bed hoping that by some miracle he would put himself to sleep. Instead he cried and cried. So I went and pick him up again and continued to walk him. I got to breaking point. I placed him safely in his cot and went and hid in the kitchen. I know very mature of me. In my hiding I ate one of my cinamon scrolls and a piece of ginger crunch and stared vacantly out of the window. After getting a good sugar fix I felt I was able to handle another go. I went and picked him up again and decided to feed him to get him to sleep. Which failed. Thankfully my trusted child advisor called me (my sister). She pointed out to me that he was probably sore from his teeth and to stop trying to put him to sleep cause he won't. To which I replied 'duh why didn't I think of that'. I gave him a good dose of panadol. He was still a horror for the rest of the day until now where he is sleeping in my bed after being breastfed to sleep.

Those teeth have alot to answer for. I'm sure when I see them they won't give me a good answer they will probably ignore me and tell their friends to come join them. I think the sadest thing about this whole sitution is that, Darth Vader is only 5 months old. I still have 18 months of this to go before he has them all!

God help me.
