My Living Nightmare

I'm living in some kind of nightmare. For the past two days, my sweet Griffin went from this

To this

And this

Which isn't AS bad... 

He is cutting some new teeth. I think they're either his bottom molars or top canines (is that what they're called???) 

His symptoms: 

Low grade fever

Nasty diapers

Temper tantrums

Fighting sleep 

Chewing on everything

Diagnosis: 

Teething monster

On top of all of that, he is having some separation anxiety, but it's usually only when it's time to go to sleep. Something has scared him or he just doesn't want to be left alone in his room. Normally, I just put him in his crib, say goodnight, he turns over, and I leave to enjoy an hour or so of quiet time with my hubby. But since Thursday, he SCREAMS at the top of his lungs when I leave. It's horrible. He even has a bruise on his forehead from banging it against his crib. :| I mean really?? I don't even know this kid anymore!! 

Today was actually better. Except nap time. That was pretty much the worse experience I've had with Griffin. He fought sleep for thirty minutes and made himself so upset that he couldn't even calm down when I finally picked him up. As soon as we left his room and sat on the couch, he laid down and was out like a light. Slept from 11:15 - 2:00. I just dunno what to do to help him! 

And on top of that its my last week of summer vacation. And on top of that, I shut my hand in the car door. 

Ouch. :(
