Sometimes a two-year-old has to get creative in his language because he lacks the exact words to express himself. Take, for instance, this morning:
"Daddy, I have a spider in my mouth."
Now there's an attention-getter. "What?!"
"Maybe it's a bug."
"Hmm. Let me see." Nothing obvious in his mouth.
"Daddy, my mouth is broken. Can you kiss it?" Sticks out his tongue.
Now we're snickering. Kisses are administered to his cheek. But some underlying problem remains and all morning he makes comments about fuzz in his mouth or something broken. When he won't even eat a soft piece of pear, Mom puts 8 and 8 together and comes up with the answer- 2 year old molars! A pinkie check confirms the emergence of two little molars in the back. This might also explain the recent fever, whininess, and poor eating.
Man, I love that kid- spiders and all.

That would feel like spiders! And like broken pieces. Adorable. He gets ice cream from me.
That is super cool.
