I never would have thought there'd be this much excitement over a tooth. But finally, one more tooth has emerged. Ella's first 4 teeth popped out around 9 1/2 months. There has been no action since then. She's 17 months. Now, after many predictions and much anticipation there is one more tooth with more that I can feel just about poked through. Ella has been gumming her food for months which has limited her to some degree on what she can eat. Perhaps this will be her turning moment in the food department. She had a fussy night last night and a rough afternoon - but if it means more teeth, we'll put up with it. The old wives' tale is that the longer it takes kids to get their teeth, the better their teeth will be. Here's to good teeth!
On a side note, I thank God for stores like the Et Cetera Shoppe in Freeman. I put the manager, who is also a friend of mine, on the look out for spring/summer clothes for Ella. She grows so quickly and with our budget being what it is, I knew I couldn't buy her all new clothes. Today I bought a whole box of clothes - that are mostly quite cute and will do just fine for hot summer days playing outside - for $30. The average price per item: $1.00. Thanks Kris!

Oh yeah! The Etcetera connection! I've got it too!!
Tell Ella congratulations for me.
And buying new clothes sucks. Personally I think Sophie would be fine running around either naked or dressed in a brown paper sack; however, her mother tends to believe that Sophie needs things like clothing, baths and fresh food.
Ella is happier naked as well - I'm sure she will be this summer especially, however, I agree with Anna. Ella needs clothing and fresh food and a bath once a week is a bonus.
Yay for more teeth!! There's NOTHING like a bit, toothy grin! You and Karin make me so jealous of the etcetera shop! I might have to bring an extra suitcase when I come Schmecking!
