Here we are almost 1 month and 2 teeth later. We took my daughter down to Florida for a couple weeks and while we were there she cut her first tooth! Even though it's a bit on the early side, it was exciting to see the cute little white line popping through. It wasn't so cute for my husband when she bit his little exploring finger. That'll teach him! And now, just a couple days ago while I was admiring the said new tooth, I noticed another little white line right next to it. Once again I found myself wishing she could have told me that her poor litte gums were sore. I would have bought the teething toys and stuck them in the freezer much sooner.
Soon I will introduce a new sign for times like this. It will be the sign "PAIN" or "HURT". This sign is done by putting your 2 index fingers together in front of the place on your body where you feel the pain (think ET). If the sign is done in a neutral area in front of the body it just means pain in general. This is useful when asking things like, "PAIN WHERE?" WHERE is produced by taking the right index finger and placing it where you would say "number 1" and moving it back and forth.
If my daughter had known the sign for PAIN, she could've told me why she was being fussy and waking up every night while I was on vacation. Nice timing Tooth Fairy, very funny.
