The Crank

August 27, 2010 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Keeping It Real, Minnesota Me, New Baby 9 Comments

Hello, my name is Baby Toddler George.

Teething Toddler

And I am a great big grumpy crank.

My mom wants you to know that she misses her daily chats with you but that–I’m crying as she types this, by the way–she is being held captive by her teething toddler.

Literally.

I’m yanking on her skirt bottom as we speak.

With love & blessings & wails & oh, how about some gnashing of teeth thrown in for good measure,

— George of Minnesota

    Margaret,

    My sympathy and my prayers. Poor, poor little unhappy boy! Our last bout of teething was epic… and ended with no teeth having actually erupted after more than a month of screaming. I am so not looking forward to the next round. hoping those teeth break through very soon.

    Oh, the poor little dude! Yeah, icecream or icy-poles sound good and plenty of childrens paracetamol. I hope it doesn't go on for too long.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
