More pearls.....

For last one week Mishti has been on Anna mode ...... this phrase is used not to demean you at all Mr. Hazare. She stopped eating all solids and wanted only milk as her meals. She has never been a fussy eater and used to eat everything that we eat....yeah, this girl had her share of kadhi, rajma, macroni, palak paneer, egg , fish , chicken....the list is long. Initially I was not much worried and thought it might be a phase which would get over soon....so, if she kept her mouth tightly shut for her dinner, I kept it aside and had my dinner ( see what kind of mom I am!!!) and gave her milk(I am dead-against force feeding). 

But when few more days passed and even her milk intake reduced, my worry button was pressed. So yesterday, we took her to doctor. After waiting for more than an hour our turn came. After check-up, he promptly declared that she is teething. This is her second set of teeth ,she already got half a dozen as first set. Doctor advised a calcium syrup & gum paint.....applying this one is really tough as this girl uses those half a dozen as perfect weapon apart from wriggling away from lap and scratching our hand when we try to do so!!!

Uff...hope this phase gets over quickly. As a layman, I do not understand that after so much issues these milk teeth comes out and sheds off after few years followed by new set of permanent teeth.....why can't we have only permanent set of teeth
