I guess the tooth fairy is not of much help in these situations.

Once a kid gets his first tooth, he wants another one.
Once a kid gets two teeth, he wants a toothbrush.
Once a kid gets a toothbrush, he wants solid food.
Once a kid gets solid food, he wants candy.
Once a kid gets candy, he wants Santa Claus to come at Christmas.
Really, Kay, all of this stuff gets out of hand quickly. There's no end to it. Do something!

Congrats! It is probably the most fun for the grandparents on these occasions - depending on how easy of a time Chapman had, it may or may not have been fun for the parents or Chapman - some of our kids toothed quite easily - others had a rougher time. Hope this one was fairly gentle.kayrharris wrote:Chapman has his first tooth.

Teething babies tend to drool --- a lot! In Switzerland the custom was to tie brightly colored kerchif's around the neck with the big 'V' portion below the chin - this would catch the drool and could be easily swapped out for a replacement kerchif without having their clothes all wet and sticky and needed to be changed (unless the opposite end acted up as well).

Olivia had the Rainforest bouncy seat. She loved it. She would sit in that thing for hours. She even napped in it.
Congrats on the teeth. Olivia got two on the bottom first and then proceeded to get FOUR on the top at one time. I have every teething ring they sell at Target and a tube of Baby Orajel in the her room, the girls bathroom, my car and the diaper bag.

Son tried on a handsome pair of shoes at Kohl's the other day. They were the "Chapman" model. Thought of you.

Dan is bound and determined the kid is gonna be called Chap. I beg to differ!
He couldn't resist a chance to give me a little jab.
If and when I get a photo, I'll post one. I have to take 10 to get one good one!

Have you heard of Hyland's teething tablets? I haven't had occasion to use them yet, but have heard that they're fantastic.
