Teething

Yup, you read that post title...Teething.

Whenever I talk to other parents, one of the first questions they throw out is "Does your little one have teeth yet?" So far he has two bottom teeth and I've been saying for months that there are more on their way very shortly.

I feel a little silly having said that for the past few months. It totally seemed like they were just around the corner at any point. He's drooling like a puppy and chopping on everything he can get his hands on. So I keep saying - those top teeth will be here soon and then soon comes and goes... oh well.

I'm fairly confident that they will truly be here soon.

At least I hope so!

This week I'm on Spring Break like most area schools but haven't had much of a break yet. Finishing out grad class projects isn't the easiest when you have an 8 1/2 month old has a runny nose, a little fever and just wants to nurse and cuddle with his mommy. Last night I sat down at the computer, Hubs was ready to give keeping my Little Man entertained everything he had.

Little Man had other plans. He wanted his mommy in a bad way. I needed to get work down. The mommy guilt settled in. And needless to say, Little Man got his mama and the homework went on hold.

What am I really trying to say here? Am I complaining about not getting work done? Maybe about not getting my run in?

Not this time - All I'm trying to say is that my baby will only be a baby once. He'll only teeth once. And someday he won't need his mama quite so badly. I'm taking it while I can! If that means this once-upon-a-time Magna Cum Laude student's grades don't look like they used to, I'm ok with it. The  honors I look forward to these days are a scrunched up little smile and a silly little voice shouting "Ma-ma!"
