Yesterday, Atticus approached me and demanded "Let me see your nails." I couldn't understand him for the first three or four times he asked, partly because a lot of my comprehension of what he says is based on context. I had no idea what "nails" he was talking about. He repeated and repeated himself, and finally he asked, "Do you have nails like me on your thumb?" He showed me his thumb, and I showed him that I indeed had nails on my thumbs, too. He went away very pleased and satisfied like he'd learned some secret to the universe.

They say that a mother shouldn't begin to wean her child during any time of trauma, including teething. Samuel now has one top and two bottom incisors, and I can see the small bump on his gum that indicates he is cutting a second top incisor. He has also recently found great humor in biting me while I am nursing him. So does that rule about not weaning during teething still apply?
