I've been convinced that Bean has been teething since she was two days old. She had all the signs: excessive drool, middle of the night waking with pain, stinky diapers, chewing on anything and everything, and yet: NO TEETH.
So for the past month she's had no symptoms. No pain, no (abnormally) abominable diapers (just the regular abominable level), no fever, no pink cheeks, no drooling, nothing. I became convinced that she was going to be the only second grader on a soft food diet.
I got dire warnings from Athena (she with the child with four teeth) about the horrors of teething, the screaming, the gnashing, and the moans of misery. But still nothing from Bean for the past month.
Yesterday, she took an extra long morning nap and looked a little spacey for the first part of the day. And this morning? TOOTH.
Wow. She must have a high pain threshold or something. Or perhaps it's the constant stream of Tylenol and tequila I put in her bottles. JUST KIDDING, SOPHIE.
It's Tylenol and ouzo.
