TEETH AND JABS

July 1st, Alice came to me with 2 front teeth.

July 2nd, her 3rd tooth came through, the 4th came in later in July.

By early September Alice had 8 teeth in all. Then nothing, no more teeth for nearly 3 months . . . but I've been keeping a watch, I think that her molars are rumbling, but tonight her gums are puffy (just behind the front ones) and a tooth is showing half-way back through the top left gum.

Today, more inoculations. She should have had 3, but one was M*R and so she only had 2. No M*R. Why? Well, I've really deliberated the options, I'm worried about the press it's had, but she will have it, but it is notorious for making children poorly a week or two later - that would be just before Christmas and I don't want Alice ill for her first real Christmas.

So tonight I knew exactly why Alice was grumpy - only a short sleep in the buggy while out shopping, inoculations, teeth, so teething gel and the wonderful pink medicine have been administered, as well as an early night!
