Grindage

Little Mr. Stickyfingers is teething. (I know, welcome to the next two years of life!)

His teeth are coming in all wonky too. I mean, they're semi-straight, they're just in a wonky order. Like the front and side coming in together, leaving a big gap, and then the other front and side coming in to fill up the gap. So, he's got all four front bottom teeth. Now he's getting a top tooth. No, of course not the center ones. A side one. Just one. And it's impossible to photo because he keeps his little lips clamped shut over it whenever possible. Did I mention he grinds it? Yeah. He slides those four little bottom teeth over and grinds them on the tip of the top one coming down.

Like nails on a chalkboard.

I try not to shudder violently when I hear it, and I wonder, just how long his teeth will last?
