The Ugly Side of Teething

Yup. It's back. That stubborn molar that was just below the surface a few weeks back when Eli popped three in such a short time. Eli ran a little fever today and he's miserable and unhappy. This makes the days interesting as Eli has become impossible to entertain or feed when he feels this way. He has become a bit picky with his food in the last weeks (right around the same time the molars started beating him up); he doesn't like foods from one day to the next and the only thing you can count on him eating is dried fruit, which he'd eat his weight in if you let him.

Eli had another gym class this morning. Before we started the classes he LOVED to do forward somersaults, but not anymore. He won't even tuck his head if you try to 'force' him. That's why I found it quite interesting that he has no problem doing the back handspring (over a 'hot dog' apparatus). I'd think that would be scarier than a silly forward roll. Shows how much I know!
