A is for Apple (and agony relief)


I might have accidently discovered the best teether of all time: apples.

Today we went apple picking for the very first time with friends. I was a little nervous about this outing as darling daughter had little sleep last night. (Very restless. She got to bed around 10 p.m., started to stir at 4:30 a.m. and got up at 5:30 a.m. Argh!). But we all had so much fun at the apple orchard, especially when darling daughter discovered the amazing properties of apples.

Eating that apple must have comforted her mouth and gums because she ate almost the entire thing. I had to throw out the remains of her apple and replace it with a new apple.

Now as a disclaimer, I would suggest anyone considering giving their teething toddler an apple to carefully supervise them so they don't choke.

So I am very grateful to the two apples that were sacrificed today in giving darling daughter comfort. Not only did they occupy a teething toddler, they also gave comfort to two sleep deprived parents for a couple of hours.
