Day 2: So Geordi has been having a very rough time with teething lately. His tooth/teeth will get right up to the surface, but not break through. Then they will receed for several days only to do it again in a few weeks. Worf and Data went through this as well, but only once or twice with their first tooth. Poor Geordi has been through this 3 times already in the last 2 months.
We have tried teething toys, frozen rags, frozen food, orajel, you name it. We finally got him some teething tablets and those seemed to work pretty well. Long story short, Geordi's first tooth came in yesterday (yea!) and he was a much more sociable little guy all afternoon.
This brings me to my point of gratitude for today: Because Geordi has been so miserable for so long (with a nasty cold on top of it), he has also had a rough time sleeping and no amount of sleep training was cutting down on the number of times he was getting up (seriously... it was ridiculous). Which also meant that I was having a rough time sleeping. However, last night, just because he wasn't teething anymore (at least on that tooth), he only woke up TWICE last night. It is strange how grateful you can be that something simply stopped, or for something as seemingly terrible as a mere 4 hours of sleep (do you have ANY idea how long it has been since I have slept for a 4 hour stretch?!?).
So there's my point of the day: Be grateful for sleep :)
