18 months old


So my little man will be 18 months 3 days! I can remember giving birth to him like it was yesterday and now he will have a little brother in 4 short months. I have been thinking about getting him into the big boy bed for naps so in the next 4-6 months when the baby will need the crib he will just want to be in the big boy room. He is hitting and biting and I am reading "Happiest Toddler on the Block" so we will see what works and how we get to the other side of this. The biting is very deliberate and I think because he cannot communicate what he wants, he doesn't even try he just grabs my arm and sinks his teeth in like an ear of corn. On top of it all I think for sure there are more teeth coming in! Yesterday he was up and screaming at 4:30am and cried for 45 straight and didn't want anything I was trying to get him to settle down. So I gave him some medicine and did better the rest of the day and took a long nap. Today was more odd behavior for him. He didn't want to get out of the stroller after our Stroller Strides class this morning and play with his friends; he was just a grumpy face. By dinner tonight his bottom canine "holes" were fire engine red so i got my fingers crossed that those pop out tonight and in the morning I will get my sweet boy back. Thankfully when he is in pain he just wants to cuddle and watch a movie or we always got the water table and the weather is awesome so we will be just fine, I just hate to see my boy not being himself. Good night and hopefully tomorrow will be better!
