Turning another corner

It looks like Lucas is teething again-he is drooling (despite what my mom says, he doesn't drool all the time), he is constantly got his hands in his mouth and his bottom gum are very red. He also hasn't been acting himself. I know it was just a matter of time before we started this process again. It looks like it is his canines or eye teeth that are making him miserable. As I told a colleague at work today, we are lucky that Lucas tends to get several teeth in at a time so I hope this is a short lived process. I don't want him to be miserable for Christmas but there is nothing I can do about it but try and give him some comfort.

Marc also discovered that Lucas likes Barney-I know, I know. I had hoped we would escape this! My brother and I would hate it when my niece watched him, 18 years ago when he first come on TV. Marc had it one this weekend while up with Lucas and he loved it. And why wouldn't he? He loves music and lately has been into movement-I would not dare call it dancing. That is what happens with Barney every show. The funny thing to come out of this is that Lucas has two stuffed animals in his room that he likes. One is the same colors as Barney but is not a dinosaur. The other is a T-Rex named Rexy who looks like Barney. He loves to touch the felt teeth on Rexy and he likes to point to the other animal on the bookshelf.

Let's hope the Barney phase ends when his teething does!
