Teething Hurts!

Our Lucy girl missed school yesterday. She was home feeling icky, probably a result of teething. This all started Monday evening, when she came home from school and was not quite her perky little self. Lucy has a runny nose and is drooling more than I thought was humanly possible! As a result her voice is raspy and she is coughing a lot (choking on drool?). Yesterday she was so unhappy because of all that was going on in her mouth. She had trouble sleeping, wasn't too interested in playing, didn't eat so much and cried during her whole bath (Lucy loves bathtime!). It was so sad to watch, and sure made this momma feel pretty helpless. At one point, when I was making Lucy's dinner, she was crawling on the kitchen floor and it all must have just been too much... She laid down on the tile floor, put her arms under her head to cradle it and began sobbing/moaning softly until I picked her up off the floor, at which point she just flopped on my shoulder. So sad... Today she is feeling a little better. She is at school again, but has been more fussy and less cheerful than usual. There are so many more teeth to go - teething sure does stink!
