Teething

Teething is said to be one of the most painful things we go through in life. That said, how do we make it bearable for the little ones when it happens?

Ideas:
1. Refrigerated Teething rings
2. Orajel
3. Tylenol
4. Comforting hugs and the holding arms of a loved one
5. Sucking on an Icy (left in the package)
6. Distracting with something fun - a BIG one for my kids is playing in the water (tub time or the pool or water toys for the lawn) or simply being outside (they do not even have to be playing - just step out the door and their whole demeanor changes!)

 Hallelujah through the pain - Jeremiah has his first tooth! May this be just the beginning of his growth, not only in the physical sense, but also in the spiritual.

"In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." Hebrews 5
