One of the great things about love is that it’s contagious. When my baby was teething all I could do was stumble around bleary eyed and shout, “She grew teeth! In her mouth!!” And the same people who enthused over that and the toilet thing are today still rooting for her as she reaches new milestones, like college, because they watched her grow up. By sharing your son’s achievements with us you’re creating a tide of good will for him that will hopefully somehow invisibly buoy him up when he takes on new challenges. It’s lovely.

Our 18 month old has nearly a dozen teeth now, and we still cannot figure out how to make the brushing last longer than 30 seconds.
