Teething Fun!

About 2 mins ago, I discovered Peyton's sixth tooth! If he weren't bothering me, I would have never discovered it! As normal, I wasnt paying 100 percent attention to Pate, so he tugged on my pants, and demanded some mommy attention! I picked him up and played with him, and he flashed me the biggest Pate smile he could possibly make, and I gave him a big ole hug! Well perhaps the hug was a weee bit to hard because he grunted! For some reason, it reminded me of his fifth tooth popping in, which was yesterday, so I checked for a new one! Low and Behold there was tooth number six! Hes been getting teeth in, since four months old, so hes been teething forever! Poor little guy! Eli got his first tooth at 5 months, and then at 10 months, got 4 more teeth.
Speaking of Eli, I might as well tell of today's Eli adventure!! We went to Target to get JJ a pirate thing, and to pick up a few more things that I needed. Well Eli decided that he was going to go with me, so I thought it was a great time to pick out some new sandals, since the ones that were currently glued to his feet were so ridiculously small. (Come on now, I have size 11 feet and David has size 12 or something monstrous like that!) So we pulled into the oh so narrow isles of the children's shoe section. Which is about as fun to navigate as it would be to navigate a darn ant farm! And as I tried not to run anything over, I had to remind Eli that he cant touch every shoe he sees! Too late, mission failed, three pair of shoes off the rack! "Accident mom!" he told me! Hmmmmm, right! LOL
We looked at all the cool flip flops and sandals with every cartoon/animated character you could imagine on it. We narrowed it down to Thomas the Tank and Diego, only to find out that they had shoes in sizes that were to small for my big footed monster! After further searching, I found a pair of size 10 Diego sandals, and Eli is so excited! He kicked off one of his sandals, only for me to figure out why he was so excited to get new sandals.....mommy put his shoes on the wrong feet!! Yeah, I was so flustered right before we left, mommy brain! LOL! I tried one of the shoes on him, and he said NOPE the second I Velcroed it!! Long story short, the excitement wore off pretty darn quickly! He stopped talking, just said "no shoes today mom" and so we didn't buy any shoes.
