Who knows one can be so excited over something as normal as cutting teeth?!
When we first spotted tiny pearly dots protruding out from D's gums, we got carried away trying at every chance we got to pry open his mouth to take a closer look.
I remember the initial discovery went something like:
N: Mummy, did u see his new teeth?
Me: No. Really??!!
And we proceeded to check it out together until little one got angry and started screaming us out of his face. And as some sort of self defence, he learned to clam his mouth really tight.
On several other random occasions I proceeded to perform same stunt again. But D mastered the art of his newfound defence skills.
We saw it occasionally when he was crying, but never had the chance to take a good look - one long enough for us to stare at them in awe and exclaim how cute they were!
But VIOLA! I managed to capture these in picture!
Look at that cute little teeth!
I can finally stare at them for forever!
So we have just incorporated a new morning regime for the little man.
This, and singing: This is the way we brush our teeth....so early in the morning!
Parenting is teamwork.
On D's tooth cutting journey:
He got it done easy peasily. We are glad we didn't have an extremely cranky baby while the teeth tried to make their way out. We bought 2 teethers way before but didn't have much use for those. I only gave him about 3-4 toothiepeg sticks in total before those pearlies appeared. On hindsight, he probably had some itchy gums which he tried to self-sooth all by himself:
So itchy!!! Chomps!
Thank You for making it easy!
