Parenting Cheatsheet

OK, Sarahlynn, check back here from time to time to remind yourself that everything is a cycle. You're not really experiencing everything for the first time everytime. No, really.

1. Fussing, clingy, not eating Ellie: check for TEETHING!
   
2. Won't sleep at night, won't nap Ellie: Developmental explosion! Learning new things! Look for exciting progress!

In related news, Ellie is getting all 4 of her eye teeth at once. She is such a trooper! She spent the painful moments this afternoon between one dose of Motrin wearing off and the next dose taking effect by morosely pointing at and identifying body parts. This girl knows so much! And she couldn't be any cuter. It's impossible to imagine.
