A dental day- August 12, 2011

Yesterday I left work brooding, stressing, and just being generally miserable. Greyson has been away most of the week on business and I’ve been single-moming it. (My hat is off to all the single working parents out there! I don’t know how ya’ll do it!)

My little sweetie greeted me with her usual, big gummy smile when she saw me come and pick her up. (Late, the last one left at daycare. ::sigh::) As I kissed her and begged for her forgivness at my tardiness I noticed a little something extra in her mouth. Could it be?! A tiny tooth?! Finally?!

Sure enough, I felt a razor sharp little thing in there. (On my finger, thankfully, and not my boob, but I’m sure that’s coming soon enough.) I was so unbelievebly delighted at her development I forgot all about my misery. She spent the evening grinning and melting my heart as she showed off her new smile. It’s amazing how something as little as that turned my whole day around.

I should have guessed something was up when she had a very light appetite this week and a runny nose. Those were thankfully her only real teething symptoms.

Through all her sweet smiles I tried to capture the tooth on camera. No luck. Enjoy this goofy cartoon of a baby with a tooth instead. Happy Friday!
