Twoof – For those of you that have never had a toothache or one pulled, that is what tooth sounds like when in you are in pain, add talking about more than one twoof and you get twoofies.
Gage is still cutting teeth at an awe inspiring rate; he gets about a week off in between each it seems. His fourth (top left) twoof has come through and its partner to the right is catching up on the action, I figure it will be partying with the rest of them with-in a week, poor baby. So if you take a: black n blue, swollen, bloody, separating to quickly, set of baby gums, Add one not so nice cold virus and what do you get?
Pain + Hurt + Ouch + runny nose + cough + fever = X
What is the value of X?
X= sleep deprived, over-stressed, slime covered mommy *(multiplied) by the power of more house buying/selling issues, structural engineer making a report on our home, and closing get pushed again + the addition of 5-6 new work projects = the biggest reason for the lack of posts over the last two weeks, along with a over-frazzled looking mother/wife/employee.
(you know you look bad when the local “deprived” dirty construction workers quit gawking as you walk by)
Twoof Update (yes I started this post earlier this week):
His cold is trying to get better, the twoof has broken through, the other is moving downward FAST, and the sleep vs. slime amounts have shifted in my favor on the curve. If I could get a picture in his mouth before he succeeded on getting the lense in his mouth, this is what it would look like....
OK now the TT or Tidbit Tugging
Let me set the stage: About 1.5 weeks ago as we left the shower (we plug it and make a 3inch bath/shower) Gage discovered that, “he’s a boy”, he saw a little turtle peaking from under the water and grabbed it as I was lifting him out, I had a giggle and we moved on to getting dried and dressed.
…………….Fast Forward 48 Hours……………
As soon as Dad put him in the shower with me, he remembered his turtle friend and snatched it, before I even sat him all the way down. People, I am not talking about touching it, but full hand grabbing and pulling. I found myself saying:

Honey those are your boy parts, don’t pull them off
Honey, your testicle sac is not suppose to come up that far!
No, it is NOT a necklace!
Gage, you are going to hurt yourself!
Son, Put the PePe down!
Please, LEAVE THE TURTLE ALONE!
Fine, pull it off, it is yours!
The rest of the bath went like this…..
-Pull turtle as hard as possible until it slips from between his little fingers
-See a toy
-Shake it
-Catch a glimpse of a turtle head peaking above water
-Drop toy
-Grab turtle and turtle nuts,
-Pull, until you lose them in the deep grey water (yes he can be a dirty boy)

His poor turtle was so red.
However, from his angle and without knowledge of body parts or reptiles, he only see’s above the water and what he see’s does look interesting, plus it moves….
So I guess I “Get IT”, the positives is that it does help with Hand-Eye-Coordination. Wait until I tell his pediatrician how hard he has been practicing…
UPDATE: as of last night….
If you were thinking he would get bored with Turtle Hunting, well you are wrong, it is his favorite bath toy. What do I do, you ask? I spend the whole time trying not to laugh.

*wondering how long until he figures out that the turtle also plays in urine soaked cotton diapers at changing time, stay tuned*
If it helps, little girls do similar things at nappy change time. They have to pull harder, tough, to get the bit of interest in view.
ReplyDeleteAnd bend forward rather more.
Fortunately, I have yet to hear of a self-genital-ectomy by a young man on a voyage of discovery.
