Over the last couple of months the poor boy seems to have had all his back teeth come through at the same time!  They usually come through after the front teeth but they haven’t this time, although some of his remaining front teeth are now pushing through as well.  As expected he hasn’t really settled when sleeping for a while now (apart from the odd few days) and we have had to keep him dosed up on Calpol, as you can imagine how sore his gums have been.  He has taken to sucking on ice as well which must numb the swollen gums and take away the pain he must be experiencing.  Hopefully it won’t be long now until all his teeth are through and we won’t have to worry about more teeth for a few years!

Recently we went to Trago Mills and went on the North Pole Express to go and see Father Christmas.  This was the first time Ben and Aaron had see Father Christmas so they were both excited (moreso Ben as he knew what it was all about!).  Aaron was probably excited because he could see Ben getting very excited!

When we arrived at the ‘North Pole’ there was an Elf there to great us and Father Christmas was there to talk to all the children.  Aaron didn’t go up to the front with everyone else, but stayed being held by Kelly.  He did go and get a present from him though which turned out to be a hand puppet Duck, which Aaron liked!  We couldn’t get a photo of Aaron with Father Christmas as he wouldn’t let go of Kelly! 😉 But he seemed to enjoy his first visit to see Father Christmas.
