Tooth Number Two: A Letter

Dear Tooth Number Two:

I am over you. In fact, I think everyone in this family is over you. Ben included. It seems that you are causing twice as much pain and taking twice as long to make an appearance. Because of you, we have opened our second bottle of infant motrin (generic because of the recall). In a week. Teething tablets are dispersed every few hours and teething rings are kept in a constant rotation.

The drool has reached epic proportions. Outfits must be worn with a bib at all times. If not, said outfit/shirt will be soaked with drool in a matter of minutes.

You have turned our once happy, content baby into a whining, crying, only wants to be held, small nightmare of a baby.

And let's not forget the snot. Oh the snot. The gurggle-ing, faucet-like, never ending snot. I think you set a record for the amount of snot suctioned out of an 8 month's old nose this morning.

I would like to file a complaint with your boss. But I am not really sure who that is. So I will just beg for your mercy. Please...... Just. Show. Up. and give me my content baby back.

Sincerely,
Up To HERE with Snot, Slime, and Whine
Mama

P.S. If any of your "friends" decide to pull a stunt like you......just warn them that I know a dentist......and there is already an appointment scheduled.

I'm not a fan of those tricky teeth either. I think Judah has five coming in right now.

Just a thought, Luke would have a snotty nose that wouldn't go away for weeks and when I finally took him to the doctor it was an ear infection. I always knew it was his ears if his nose was snotty and he coughed at night. Just in case you were wondering if it was more than the teeth....
