Hailey has another tooth coming in.  She has five already, this is the sixth and she keeps getting really cranky every time we get another tooth coming in.  We’ve been using teething tablets instead of baby oragel to try to make it easy for her but I’m not sure which one works better.  Any body with kids have more experience in this department?  On top of the tooth medications, we give her a cold teething ring, any other suggestions on how we can keep our daughter from suffering through teething?

She seems to be having trouble sleeping even with either the tablets or oragel.  She normally is out for the night when you put her to bed in the evening, but lately when teething she wakes up crying.  She isn’t napping as much during the day either, today at daycare she didn’t nap at all.  Help!!

Found a post every parent should read over at Something About Parenting about patience.  Patience is different for every parent!  You all know what causes your kids to try your patience.

For me, patience is trying to pay attention to traffic while I have a baby in the back that refuses to to stop screaming or fall asleep.  Especially when we just started the trip.  That’s patience.

Patience for me is a child who sometimes doesn’t have patience.  When we just started removing a dirty diaper and our little baby doesn’t want to sit still but would rather flip over before she’s been cleaned, that’s patience. 

This just serves to remind all parents, you gotta have patience!!  What is your patience?
