prosodic | (no subject)

I signed up for flex time at work yesterday, which means that roughly the last work week of every month, I'll be working from 7-5 Monday through Thursday and then 8-noon on Friday. So I only work a half day once a month, but at least it's one day I can give Lance a break from having to come home at lunch to let out The Munchy.

That also coincides with the week that my brother and his family will be here in July, so at least I'll get off early that Friday. They want to do a weekend in Portland and asked if I would be up for tagging along. I barely even know Seattle yet, but I am perfectly willing.

I think Reece is about to lose a tooth. I got home from work yesterday and she lunged at me and started chewing on my sweater sleeve and there was blood. And everything else she chewed on got blood on it too, but I can't take a look inside her mouth long enough to determine what tooth is working loose. Still, I hope this means the beginning of the end of her chewing phase.

DJ's chewing phase wore off in the 18-20 month range. They both still love chewing, but don't have to chew everything now. We managed to survive by keeping everything dangerously chewable (cords, etc.) hidden, everything annoyingly chewable (random shoes, chargers) mostly out of reach, and providing a lot of other things to chew.

(Whoops, that was me.)

The timeline is perfect for her first loss of teeth. I started noticing blood on Sadie's chew toys when she was about 5 months, then the teeth started falling out. Of all her baby teeth, I found ONE. The vet guesses she digested the rest. Yuck.

My mom kept the two baby teeth she found from her puppy.
