There are days when being a mother is the greatest thing in the world. Then there are days, like today, where I live for naptime and bedtime. Carter's molars are coming in, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that he is whining, crying and begging for me about 90% of his waking hours. He is miserable, and unfortunately he gets like this any time a tooth is coming in, which has been a lot lately.
*sigh...*

Oh man. Teething can be so hard. Although, atleast you have baby tylenol and baby orajel on your side.
One thing that used to help with that around our house was to wet a washcloth and then freeze it in a zip lock bag. The child can chew on it all they like. The terry is just rough enough to really feel good on their gums and help the tooth come through. The cold helps with the pain. They can suck the water out, which they like. Also, are we sure his ears are not infected. Those nerves are all together in the side of your head and sometimes an earache can even feel like a toothache and vice versa. Poor kid.
Yuck! I feel your pain! Eddie is usually pretty easy-going, but he has a molar coming in as well, and he's a beast! I'll be taking myself to the movies and shopping this weekend for a much-needed break!
This too shall pass. Then he'll get braces.
I can feel your pain. Matilda must know that school is getting ready to start because she has been hanging on me nonstop.
