He was really upset last night and the tooth seems to be protruding a little more today.  Tonight he was crying way worse than the past few nights.  Well beyond the realm of fussiness, into the realm of screaming inconsolably.  I feel
bad for running to the Tylenol, but it seems to do the trick, so he must be in pain, right?  I don't want to use that as a crutch, but if he wasn't hurting it wouldn't work (I assume), so I'm okay with my decision.  Poor little guy!  I hope it comes through soon.  Also, when he was crying he wouldn't suck on my finger, so even though it was close to bottle time, I assessed that he was not hungry.  

Mike and did well today.  Things are definitely getting better on that front.  I'm sure that tomorrow through Friday will suck, but we'll deal with it.  Friday night we talked about the problems we've been having and I think I finally got through.  I mentioned the day that he called in sick to work to sleep b/c he was so tired.  He slept from 11PM to 11AM.  He recalled it and said something about how horrible he felt when the alarm went off and he just couldn't move to get out of bed.  I said, "And knowing how you felt that morning, you've NEVER offered to get up with Spencer, so I could sleep in?"  I've gotten up early every morning for 12 weeks and been up at night for a majority of those nights.  Well, he got up both Sat and Sun and promised to do so in the future.  We'll see...  LOL  I don't mind if he does it one weekend morning, and we both get one day a week to sleep in.

Getting my car windows tinted tomorrow.  Still working with the dogs on training.  Considering going back to K9 Performance Academy and getting protection training so we'd never have to be helpless in that sort of situation again.  Hopefully we'll never BE in that situation again.
