Evie has been throwing the worst fits lately too (like I'm stunned and just freeze when it happens in public - I have no idea what to do because she's never acted like this at all) and she's been cutting her incisors. It sounds like you did a really great job handling it. though. I hope he starts to feel better and gets back to his old, happy self soon. ;)Andrea @ The Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805520094927154723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-83772085302171577412013-08-31T05:44:06.456-08:002013-08-31T05:44:06.456-08:00Its when they do that boneless slither to the grou...Its when they do that boneless slither to the ground that you feel utterly helpless. My sons first tantrum hit the hardest as we were crossing a busy road in town. <br /><br />Have you ever read about amber teething necklaces? Leo's (my sons) was an absolute God-send. He suffered pretty badly and was a world champion drooler.. Within a week of having the necklace on it all turned around and the most he ever needed for teething after that was a little frozen pineapple in his teething mesh bag.<br /><br />I have already ordered one for my baby girl for when we come to that milestone.<br /><br />Love love love the bare butt. What a little cutie.<br /><br />xLaura<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482321643067588431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-75171181169819326172013-08-30T20:03:19.951-08:002013-08-30T20:03:19.951-08:00Darling last photo. :) Rough day, mama!

It was the first time it had ever happened...I just went into mama mode and ignored all the people around me.

But the thing is, I wasn't embarrassed. <br />I wasn't going to change how I dealt with the situation to make<br />all the people in the store happy. <br />I didn't care what they thought.<br /><br />And it felt good not to care.<br />Too many times I worry about what people with think about my parenting decisions."<br /><br />YES YES YES.<br />The people in the store who might have wanted you to change how things were going? They are not your child's parent. You are. And you care about him more than anyone else (except Steve, too.) And you should always be proud and amazed at the fact that you are sharing your life with this little man, and you ARE doing a wonderful job. Clearly evidenced by boots and bare bum - what an awesome shot, btw.<br />I hope he feels better soon. I promise, it passes. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever for this "phase" to pass, but it does. And you will do the best you can, and it will be good enough.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15639937462999548069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-57907467498092353042013-08-29T22:47:59.419-08:002013-08-29T22:47:59.419-08:00You are a wonderful mother!
