New Teeth

ER is growing out 8 teeth now.

He's in obvious agony, especially now. He whines when he feels the pain, digs into his mouth and complains :"pain pain!"

He drools and bites the spoon I feed him with. And he puts random toys to the erupting gums to grind on. He speaks like he has numb jaws occasionally too.

At 11.35pm now, his eyes are puffy from being sleepy and he almost drifted off to sleep, lying on the abandoned toddler bed without suckling.

He asks for the teething gel periodically by rubbing his gums and pleading: "gel gel!"

Dun recall AN having such hard time when she was teething. Or was it only because ER displays his needs better than she used to?

His runny nose scares me...I wonder if it's because his bronchitis is back again, after just slightly more than 2 weeks of being well, or if it is because he is teething.

I hope it's the latter.

He's finally fallen asleep as I'm writing this post. The next few days are not going to be easy.
