Edging Out

We have had a wonderful weekend at our house...NOT! Poor Gracie is trying to grow some teeth and it's not treating her real well. With Libby it was fairly straight forward: a low grade fever, some snot, lots of drool and some fussies and then, voila, teeth. Not so with Grace. She's been running a fever anywhere between 100 and 102 since Friday. Not too mention you can just tell the girl is in pain the way she whimpers when she's awake. Most of the time, she just sleeps. She's been sleeping a good 18 hours a day. I've noticed that this is how she deals with stress. None the less, we have the edge of one tooth sticking it's little head just through her gum. It hasn't popped out yet, but you can see it and feel it's edge. In the long run, Grace will be glad...she's REALLY itching to eat real food! Poor baby girl.

In other news, Libby is itching to get to grandma's house. She has been asking several times a day when we get to go. I finally got tired of it on Saturday and decided to be proactive and make a visual for the girl. Thus, the picture below. Every morning as soon as she wakes up she reminds me that she needs to take a clothes pin off. It has REALLY cut down on the asking about it and Libby loves to take the pin off FIRST thing when she wakes up. I haven't found a place to hang it up yet, but she seems to enjoy it anyway.


I think that's about it in the Tucker household for the moment. Hopefully I will have pictures of Gracie teeth before the week is out.

Clothes pins.... what a great idea! I've done the time-chain loops numerous times but this will be a good way to mix it up a little!

Clever idea.
