My kid is the weirdest child according to her tooth eruption chart. She's getting teeth months before they are supposed to come in. And the opposite teeth aren't even trying to make an appearance. I guess her mouth is being as stubborn as she is some times. I do know it's getting harder to track her teeth. Every time I try to feel around she bites me, not one of those warning nips, but really and truly bites as hard as possible. Guess I can't blame her, I wouldn't want someone jabbing at my sore gums either. So after I did her hair for Shane's birthday party today I felt around and there it is, molar number two. Her bottom gums are still swollen but I can't feel anything breaking through yet. Soon enough she'll have a mouth full of teeth.
We have improved upon our tooth brushing routine. She used to fight us, but I've found that if I give her the tube of toothpaste to hold she'll cooperate better. I also sing a little tooth brushing song, it's nothing special just me repeating "brush, brush, brush" in different tones. She seems to enjoy it none the less. She really like the part where I stick my tongue out, trying to get her to do the same so I can brush it. Usually she smiles really big and then opens wide so I can scrub her tongue. It's nice to have her cooperate with her routines. Now to keep the tooth brushing habit up when she's old enough to do it herself, that may be a challenge? I hope not though.
