I kept telling Snapper "teeth are overrated! There is maintenance, dentist's invasions and accompanying bills...plus all the cool kids live on smoothies!" To no avail. I gave her Tylenol. The teeth really do hurt. Also they sometimes get a low fever with teething. Yeah, she didn't like those cold suck-on things. So sorry to hear it! I kept telling Snapper “teeth are overrated!

It had a lot about brain development in utero but also got into after they are born and acquiring language and stuff. its all super interesting and still practically everyday i see jack getting more and more... human? something. "online" is a good way to put it. Map makes a lot of sense. first the map object by touch and feel and look and taste and then later they assign more abstract ideas to them. fun! i enjoyed “whats going on in there” by Lise Eliot.

Of course it wasn't permanent. Last night we had a couple wake ups. Did you guys find that keeping a pretty solid nap schedule in the daytime helped with night sleeping? I find when we mess up the day nap times, the nights are more likely to be wakey.... Doh! Of course it wasn’t permanent. Last night we had a couple wake ups.
