Teething=Exhausted Brain-Dead Parent

Teething has officially begun. I've gotten some advice on some great remedies, I just need to go get them at a store. One would think that I would do this immediately, but wow, the minutes and hours and days and weeks are going so fast that I am finding it hard to get ANYTHING done. Having a baby is super great and awesome. Having tons of work outside and inside and a farm to pack up and move at the same time is crazy and impossible. I have constructed a large calendar list sort of deal that is propped on our piano with a weekly schedule of tasks and chores. The bulk of these things are to take place before Peter starts school in a month-both for the well-being of me here at home and Peter who needs to focus on lawyering sorts of things at that time. So, to end this tangent I will get back to the fact that I need another 20 minutes in my day to go get some teething remedies tomorrow. Maybe.

In other news, bedtime has been going well the past two nights. The three nights before that were horrid. One night it took him 2 hours of extreme fussiness to settle down. I partially blame the teeth. What has worked the last couple of nights is calmly bringing him to bed after he nurses around 8:00 and letting him finish falling asleep on his own in our bed with a snuggley toy. Success. (We are co-sleeping and we prefer it. He sleeps 250% better as do we.)

Blogger doesn't want me to publish a picture so I'll try again later.
