I feel like such a mean mom. I've been a parent for two years now...and how did I miss this?
AJ has been misbehaving a lot lately. Specifically not wanting to go to bed at night and having terrible tantrums at naptime. Waking up in the night (really unusual for her these days), crying, calling for mommy. I thought it was a cold or the remnants of my non-viral infection thing. On Sunday night she was such a terror (resulting in my broken nose!) that I thought she must be very very sick. And all of last week I thought she had a sore throat - one day she told me her neck hurt and then every day after that it was her mouth.
WAKE UP MOM! YOUR KID IS GETTING THREE TWO-YEAR MOLARS! Not sure how I missed it. You always think, after a round of teething, "Well at least I know I'll figure it out faster next time." And I totally missed this, until I looked in her mouth today and saw three huge molars cutting through the gums. It looks so painful.
I feel so bad that she's been in pain and I've been scolding her and sending her to bed without soothing her pain. At least she won't remember this. And I guess I do have the broken nose in retaliation...but I still feel so bad. :(

Man, I'm sorry that Audrey is in a bad way. But X-man's having the same "coming down" issues about bedtime and naptime. And he so still needs a nap and he also needs to go to bed on time or he's a mess the next day.
Wish you guys the best!
We are having the same issue; J has been a terror lately, too. And J has been complaining about his teeth. I finally gave him some tylenol tonight. He seems to be sleeping more peacefully; if that is what's helping him sleep, then I feel bad for not doing it earlier.
PS. You are not a mean mom. I'm pretty darn confident I could point out others in this world who have done far meaner things than you and me combined.
