This evening we gathered around the kitchen table to play with play-doh (which for some reason I am always calling “yogurt”). Elias, being a child, decided to eat some of the orange play-doh. While I was fishing around in his mouth, trying in vain to retrieve the non-toxic dough, I saw something white.
A new tooth!
As it happens, there were two new teeth. Upper molars, one on each side. Our little guy had been fairly irritable at night lately, which makes sense when we realized he is cutting two new teeth at once. What’s more, getting molars looks like pretty nasty business, because the tooth cuts through in multiple places. Ouch! Nonetheless I am excited for Eli to be able to actually properly chew things soon.
