OUCH! My first canker sore!
So the past few days, Cameron has been a little whiny and has been sticking his fingers in his mouth and rubbing his nose/mouth really hard with his fist. Well, I thought those teeth that have been slow coming in on the right side must have finally started to pop through. WRONG! I was finally able to get a glimpse in his mouth today and noticed it was really red under his tongue. I only got to peak for a split second. After I practically laid across his chest holding his arms down I got a better look and saw a canker sore under his tongue. I couldn't believe it! I didn't know that babies got canker sores! I get them a lot, I always have. I think they run in my family. Lonnie never has had one. I called the Dr. just to make sure it didn't mean that it was a sign that something else might be following. They said it is normal and he'd be fine after a few days...easy for them to say! He was so fussy today! He was ok in the morning and at music class, but at nap time he lost it...he never went to sleep, just cried and cried and cried. Finally, I went in his room and held him and he slept in my arms for a bit. So he didn't have a nap today. We put some orajel on his sore before bed, he hated it, but got over it in a few minutes...he couldn't feel his tongue. He eventually put himself to sleep like normal with no crying, let's hope for a quiet night for everyone.
