Saying Goodbye to Summer---Hello Teeth

The boys are enjoying the last few warm days left by relaxing poolside. They are getting big, Rowan was enjoying splashing in the water, while Kieran just wanted to pick up toys and throw them out of the pool. Patrick and Grandpa Casey came home just in time to entertain them.

Earlier that day the three of us were at the grocery store and Kieran had his eye on a ball. Of course I picked it up and showed it to both of them. They immediately tried to grab for it, so it had to be bought. As I was carrying Kieran into the house in one hand, the ball in my other I had a fleeting thought that this might not be such a good idea. What am I crazy for giving two boys a ball in the HOUSE. This might start a very destructive trend. I quickly dismissed the notion, how could my two cute little boys destroy anything.....

I am proud to announce Kieran got his FIRST TOOTH. It's still at the gum line, but it is definitely there. He feels as if he has a little razor blade in his mouth. This explains all the drooling, constant chewing and overall cranky behavior. Poor Rowan doesn't have a tooth in sight.
