a dentist dream....

ummm, not so much actually. after feeling around those little gums and watching the drool and the runny nose i finally stuck my finger in sam's mouth (we all do it) to find a most delightful present....a teeny tip of a tooth! of course i was elated! i called everyone i could think of to tell them that my baby had a tooth! what a huge moment! sam and i did a little dance, hugged and sang. i don't think he really understood the magnitude of this slot in time. well, little did i know the terror that would evolve over the next few days.

the night of my little discovery was wonderful. he went to bed at 8pm and woke up at 9am....just like he used to. the following day though was horrific! see, this whole first time parent thing is one ginormous learning experience. simple little dental me very innocently thought that because a portion of the tooth was out (and sam had done really well up until this point) that the worst was behind us. boy was i wrong! that whole next day i could not wait until matt got home just to obtain some relief! and then that night......ugh.

and to think.....only 19 more baby teeth to go! yippee..........

That's such a great story Amy! I'm sure Sam will have great oral care, whether he wants to or not :)
