Daddy was away for a few days this weekend and Gamma and Papa came to the rescue on Friday night. They took us out to dinner and stayed until the girls were in bed. Unfortunately that was the only picture I had from the night. Papa was helping Morgan with her math workbook!
Saturday was mostly just survival mode. Maddie's teething began Friday night and continued the rest of the weekend. Saturday we realized soccer was over, so we went to the play space for about 2 hours for the kids to blow off steam and get some energy out. They had a clown there that did face-painting. Morgan was petrified of the clown at first. She was hiding behind me when the (girl) clown came over and asked if Morgan wanted to get her face painted. Morgan said, "No thank you." And the clown asked if she wanted to get a tatoo on her arm or leg instead. So, Morgan got very excited about that and got Thomas the Train (randomly!!) painted on her arm.
She enjoyed it so much that before we left, she went back for more...and painted her face...so she was BatGirl!
It was a huge success and as soon as we came home, Maddie just about dropped into her crib. Her nap was less than usual and she was super fussy the rest of the day. After naps, Gamma stopped by to witness the fussiness from herself and see if she could even make a difference, but that didn't work either. We went outside to play and that was entertaining enough, but all Maddie wanted to do was run in the street...and with a pregnant Mommy running after her, that was only going to last so long!!
Thankfully Daddy came home that night. I took the girls to Friendly's for dinner. You know Maddie's in misery when she won't even eat ice cream or anything really for dinner. We came home to Daddy who helped get the girls ready for bed.
Sunday (today) was the worst of it. After a family run to the grocery store, we came home and Maddie actually fell asleep on my shoulders while we were sitting on the couch. It probably took less than 3 minutes for it to happen. I'm guessing due to the pain, she doesn't nap for long and woke up too early which is why she needed another nap this afternoon. She napped for another hour and is now running around with Morgan like a crazy person!
I am about 95% sure that it is the remainder 4 teeth that is causing such pain and discomfort. I have never seen a toddler/baby have such a difficult time with teeth. But, she had a second nap today for about an hour, ate a real meal for the first time this weekend and is now apparently a new person. So, hooray for small victories!! :)
