Scarlett is currently getting what I can only assume to be 5 teeth at once and this week has been rough to say the least. She is screaming and crying at the drop of a hat (we like to call her "delicate balance").
I've got her on constant motrin, but she likes to spit it as soon as it touches her tongue, so not sure she's getting the appropriate dose. Another reason to hate the mouth.
Because she's teething, she refuses to eat. Which only perpetuates the vicious cycle here and makes her more angry. One upside I had in my weekend was when I took her to McD's for breakfast Saturday after a horrendous fight over what to eat in this house. I said "Scarlett, would you like a biscuit". She shook her head yes and said "I do". And yes, yes she did. She went crazy for that biscuit and the fruit and yogurt parfait. Followed by a good hour of blissful happiness. Yes, I said HOUR.
To further my hatred of the mouth, on Saturday morning, she falls and busts her lip on her doll cradle. She tore her frenum (and yes, that was immediately identified by Cameron as I have never heard of such a word - it's that piece of skin between your gum and your lip above your top front teeth). Anyway, that means she has an open wound in her mouth, which means I get the job of making sure her mouth stays super clean and that she only drinks clear liquids (no milk) for at least 48 hours. Ugg. No milk further perpetuates this hungry angry cycle we've got going here.
Head trauma and I headed to Target this afternoon on an errand for Cameron. Inbetween the 4 meltdowns we had on our 20 minute journey, I made her happy by letting her pick out new books. She got "go go" - Diego (who she is in LOVE with), "Ba" - Yo Gabba Gabba and a Princess book (which is slowly turning from "P" to something sounding more like "princess". It's currently something like "P-cess").
Here's about all she's been good for this weekend - sitting in her recliner and watching either "Ba", "go-go", "doda" or "p-cess".
Here's hoping for a better week!!

I kind of wish I had Scarlett's hair in the picture?
Is that bad?
She's looking like a hot mess in that chair. Good luck momma!
