Ken and I are so ready for Kollin's upper teeth to come in! He has been teething for 8 weeks. Ear tugs, swollen gums, stuffing everything in his mouth including his arm, slight fever...you name it. I am sure Kollin is ready for them to be here too. Of course, being the cautious parents we are, we don't want to over medicate. A little discomfort never hurt anyone. At the same time, pain isn't any good and you can only handle so much of an upset little guy before you have to medicate for your sanity.
In order to keep the Advil and Tylenol to a minimum I have been checking his temperature every other Diaper change. This means sticking a thermometer where the good lord "split him" and waiting for 90 seconds to get a reading. Kollin has decided he doesn't want me to check his temperature. Every time I put begin to insert the thermometer in his bottom, he starts to push. Yes, he pushes until either I take it out or we have a full diaper of the stinky stuff. This boy makes me laugh daily!!! How lucky am I!!!
