It Must All Go in My Mouth…All of It

Little Bear is teething.  Need I say more?

Well, I will.  At ten months, she still only has two teeth on the bottom.  They are the best two teeth to have out of all the teeth a mouth can possibly have though, dontchathink?  I love that two-toothed grin, those razor-sharp toofers there on the bottom.  Having only two teeth doesn’t seem to be holding her back from eating; instead, she’s eating more and better than the other two daughters did at this point, in spite of her 9th percentile weight.  Tomatoes, provolone cheese, turkey meatballs, little bits of whole wheat bread, and oodles and oodles of peas.  Last night we even let her chaw down on some beef jerky.  Teriyaki flavor.

Come now, you think I’d subject one of my babies to teriyaki-flavored beef jerky?  Don’t be ridiculous.  Black pepper flavor is where it’s at.

This video tells a story, so pay close attention.  The moral, you ask?  That wooden blocks are way better than cats’ tails.  Oh, and a second, more subtle moral.  If you had to grow new teeth, wouldn’t you want to bite everything in sight?  I think if I had to deal with teething as an adult, I’d end up calling in sick at work for about two-and-a-half-years.  Or maybe longer if they were molars.
