Lilly has started drooling a lot more and chewing on everything! She has been a little more fussy as well. So we thought that she might be teething. I decided that we should get her a teether of some sort and found myself getting really excited and anxious to go to the store to pick one out! While at the store, I had in my head what I was looking for and anything else that Jonathan picked up to suggest promptly was put back on the shelf! Finally I found it! The King of all teething rings, the smooth soft plastic teether with 6 water filled bubbles connected only by small narrow channels for the water to move from one bubble to the next. My heart quickened slightly as i said, "This is it!" I couldn't wait to get out of the store and to the car where I quickly opened the package and started playing with this little baby toy! Lilly didn't get it until I had had my own little fun.
Why get so excited over a device meant to sooth toddler's aching gums you might ask? I really am not quite sure, other than when I pinch those little bubbles between my fingers, I get a very nostalgic feeling and a picture enters my mind of being a child pinching the bubbles of a similar ring on either side of one little bubble back and forth watching the small blue plastic fish within do summer-salts with the moving water. I find myself more interested in Lilly's little toy than she is but that's okay since I am the one who is constantly playing with the little thing.
