It's been a rough week for Elliot. Mostly he has been pretty well behaved, but he's had his low points. He now has a difficult time getting to sleep at night. This is partly because he's teething, but I think he has some fear of abandonment, too. It took him 2 hours to get to sleep a couple of nights ago; Gary had to lie on the floor next to the crib until Elliot fell asleep, something we've rarely had to do. He's had a few tantrums this week also, but again it's hard to say if he's upset because of the new baby, teething, or both. (My money's on both.)
The good news, at least on the teething front, is that he is able to tell us that he hurts, and point to which tooth is bothering him. This makes it a lot easier to decide to give him Tylenol or put Orajel on his gums.
Gary has added links to the Elliot videos on the photo website.
