Lucky #13

Caroline & AJ, best friends ever since Caroline started sharing her meals, now have some else in common. They both have canine teeth! As best as I can tell, Caroline's lower right cuspid broke through sometime during her nap today, causing her to scream. A lot.

This tooth has been plaguing my evening slumber for about a week. This is how the story goes: Sometime between 1 - 3am, Caroline awakes and chats (aka babbles) at length, finally culminating in screams. I respond and am met by Piglet at the crib rail. He has little to say. Caroline, meanwhile, continues her presentation for the others, who are assembled in a circle surrounding her. Only after hugging Piglet, Lamb and Hippo (and sometimes Ernie or Bear) am I allowed to give Caroline a glass of milk. This is followed by some Tylenol and an optional diaper change before returning her to bed, where she sleeps until morning.

Congratulations, Lucky 13.
