teething hell

As I type this, American Idol is paused, Patrick is trying to calm Alex, and I have a headache.

Alex is teething, and it's not a pretty scene.

I picked him up from daycare today and he was drooling like crazy. When we got home, he had a 102.4 fever, so we gave him Motrin. He wouldn't eat much dinner and was soooo fussy. Patrick tried putting him to bed but he just screamed. I tried, he just screamed. Since about 6:45 he's been crying, drooling, snotting, etc. He's putting his noonie in the back of his mouth and gnawing on it. I gave him teething tablets...still fussing. We called the pharmacy to see if we could give him some rx pain meds from his tubes surgery, they said "YES!!" So now we're waiting impatiently for the medicine to start working.

I think this will be a very very very long night.
