Monday morning I felt a tooth in Tara's mouth. I even saw it - a little point of white. Except, it was a cuspid not one of the front teeth! I searched all over the 'net for any references to a cuspid being the primary tooth erupted in a baby. It doesn't appear to be possible since these come in at about 18-20 months not four and a half.
Yesterday (Tuesday), we went to Niagara-on-the-Lake and I didn't get an opportunity to examine her mouth again. It's difficult to see the little bit of tooth anyway plus she slept for quite a few hours today so I can't confirm whether the tooth is really a tooth or something else.
The other strange thing is that instead of coming out of the top of her gums it's coming out of the side. It's possible though that it's one of the points of the cuspid. Not being an expert in baby teething matters, I'm unable to proclaim anything (though I'd really like to make a proclamation that my baby has erupted a cuspid!!) I tried to take some pictures of the tooth for posterity but couldn't get any clear shots inside her mouth. The pictures are super cute though, and I'll post them up later on (and not the cute that only a mother could love either, an actual certifiable cute)
On a side note, she EC'd at Niagara-on-the-Lake in the park (tee hee hee). It was a tiny little bit of poop and a lot of pee. Really less poop than a squirrel might make!! I took a page out of Igby's book (Enter Igby stage left into my blog) and kicked dirt all over it to cover it up. Igby is our almost four year old Parson Russell Terrier.
What can I say about pooping in the park except that she's just learned so well to poop outside her diapee that as soon as I gave her a tiny opportunity she went for it. I wasn't going to hold her in the EC position for a long time and wait as I might at home, she acted very quickly. She's such a little smartie pants! I have pictures of the whole thing but I'm feeling shy about introducing myself just yet... so we'll hold off on this for a bit.
