Really?! Can we not get a break from new things for just a week so we can get into a rhythm?! Apparently, that's a ridiculous expectation, so after working through the early stages of crib training, which is actually going much better, the little one decided to push a little tooth out. Guess that explains to whining we've been enjoying for the past few days.
So, teething is a pretty fun experience, what with the excessive drooling, constant chewing of everything within arms reach, and random whining (which always seems to happen right around bed time). We were wondering why she went from a solid eight hours of sleep to just over a cat nap blended with frantic crying, and I guess we'll give her this one. All this time, I just thought the kid was nuts. That may still be the case, but who wouldn't be a little upset about a tooth pushing through their gums for the first time?
My greater concern is that things are moving along a little fast. Perhaps I just lack the capacity to process change, but it takes me a hot minute to get accustomed to new things. Last week, it was crib training. Earlier this week, the little one started making these soul-wrenching girl shrieks that could wake the dead, and now there's a tooth. Great. I feel like next week will be unfinished calculus homework, driving lessons, and college applications.
