Teeth or Not the Teeth that is the Question?.

Today James was a bit of a pill. He didn't get his normal nap this morning. He woke up an hour early from it and you could tell he was still tired. I tried feeding him his bottle, giving him a snack, tried twice to get him down for a nap and he refused, and the different things to play and keep him amused. None of this worked and he was so fussy. I know that he is working on 2 top teeth, they look to be his canines. The only thing that I can think of is that they are bothering him. He won't let me feel his gums and he has been chewing on things for the past week like a mad man. I just hope that they come through soon and relieve him of his misery. I have dosed him with some Tylenol and hopefully that will help him this evening. I have tried Orajel in the past, but he hates it. He screams bloody murder after I put it on his gums until the numbness goes away. So that is not an option here unless I want him more miserable than he already is. So Tylenol it is and has to be for now until I find something different. I hope he sleeps well tonight he needs it after a day of not much sleep. Poor little buckaroo, I wish that there was more that I could do for him. I am so glad that they only have to go through this process once. I know that they have said if you had to go through it as an adult the pain is so bad that most people would shoot themselves or come really close to it. This might be another night that he ends up spending the night in our bed, especially if he wakes up too many times this evening.

I have some more things to get done before bed so I will go now.
