Sometimes they get soggy

So I thought teething was going to be mostly a breeze for my son. I mean his first tooth came in with barely a needy whine out of him. Turns out he developed a low grade fever last week and tooth number two is surely almost in. 

After a day spent trying to get him to sleep at my friends' cottage we had one overtired little man. When he's tired he lets you know and there is no peace until he's asleep. He also woke up and it took me an hour and a half to get him to sleep. A couple of hours later it took me another half hour. He wouldn't go to daddy either. Had to be mommy, which was sweet and exhausting. 

I was worried about him because he hasn't been eating much and I was afraid he was going to be dehydrated. My hubby and I argued about going to the hospital and in the end we didn't go. I was fine with that because I didn't really think my baby was in trouble but it was troubling that he cried for so long. 

You have to understand that while crying is natural and fine for babies I was not use to this much of it. My little guy is normally happy and content to explore on his own or to walk in mommy or daddy's arms or to play with mommy and daddy but he's not needy or demanding unless he's tired or hungry or teething (I now realize). We got through it and bought some pain stuff the next day to help manage his discomfort. Lets just say that since then things have gotten much smoother. 

My Cheerio? My son still comes toe for comfort and not to Daddy (he prefers Daddy most of the time)

Soggy because sometimes it takes a lot more time and walking to comfort than to play but its worth it in the end.
