DD is a couple of weeks off 18 months.
It feels like in the last few days she has been getting whingier and whingier.
There's a lot of pulling, pointing and shrieking to get what she wants, exactly when she wants it and lots of tears if she can't have whatever it is (large tub of vaseline, saucepan of boiling water, beer.)
On the other hand, she has got at least four fingers permanently jammed in her mouth and I can feel two pointy pre-molars descending.
I'd really like to hope that her current state of little madame behaviour is either caused or exacerbated by teeth but I'm very afraid that actually we're now in for the long haul.
She can say a few words but part of the problems is half the time, I can't work out what is is she's getting so upset about. Does it get better when they can talk?
