A tooth...

It's looking like the girl is gettin a tooth! She is chomping on anything she can get in her mouth. An old wives tale claims that early teething is a sign of intelligence. Here's to our smarty pants...

Taking the frog home...

Jackson's first toy came home with us last night. We kept a stuffed frog on Jackson's carseat carrier from almost day one. On Jackson's first day at Playschool, his teacher told us that we could bring a mobile for Jackson's crib. I grabbed the frog from his car seat and attached it to his crib rail. (And then proceeded to cry like a little little baby.) Well Jackson has moved from a crib to a cot at school and someone else is sleeping in what used to be his crib. What a big boy.

We checked out Jackson's tooth progress while he brushed his teeth this morning and tooth number three has broken through! The picture is a little blurry, but I thought it was funny enough to share.

Tooth number three...

It's been on the verge of making it's way in this last week. I thought for sure Jackson would have tooth number three by Monday, but it hasn't managed to break through the gum quite yet, but by the weekend our little guy will have three teeth! We are a little slow according to the chart.

The biting wars...

Jackson still only has his two bottom teeth which doesn't help in the biting battle at school. He got his first bite from a fellow schoolmate today. Apparently Jackson was trying to win in a tug o' war over a much desired toy with one of the older boy in the toddler room and his enemy struck back by biting his right hand, not breaking the skin, thank goodness.

How do we teach Jackson what to do when another playmate bites him? What if Jackson is the biter? Bite back? Another experience to look forward to. More challenges to face.
