So when did tooth number two arrive I hear you ask? Well it pretty much came at the same time as CC's first tooth so it was overlooked from the diary aspect. This little slither of sharpness appeared a day after CC celebrated turning 8 months old. It's at the front on the top on his left. It would explain a rather tetchy night!
I hithered and dithered if it was teeth which were causing his unsettled manner, and considered getting a sachet of the powdered gold (Ashton & Parsons teething powders). The elusive powders are like hen's teeth to obtain - apparently because of the bureaucracy in Brussels regarding herbal remedies, the manufacturer instead of paying £100,000 for a licence to continue producing the powders has chosen to simply pull the product from production. I had only three sachets as a friend had managed to obtain a box from a back street pharmacy in Aberdeen and kindly gave me some. So they are not to be wasted!
A few evenings beforehand CC had been crying in the most heartbreaking manner for about 1 1/2 hours and no amount of cuddling or dentinox would settle him. I went and got one of the wraps of powder and poured it's contents into his agape wailing mouth and I kid you not 3 minutes later the tears had stopped and he then settled himself to sleep! Therefore I really don't want to waste the remaining sachets on a false alarm!
I have subsequently managed to purchase another box - so hopefully future teeth won't be so troublesome!
On another note the loveliest thing happened the other day when I walked into the bedroom whilst CC was having his afternoon nap. He actually started laughing out loud in his sleep. We will probably never know what babies dream about - but on this particular day there is no doubt that something in the land of dreams was causing great amusement to the sleeping soul. It was infectious and I left the room with a huge grin on my face.
