"And he to me: ' This mountain's of such sort
that climbing it is hardest at the start;
but as we rise, the slope grows less unkind.
Therefore, when this slope seems to you so gentle
that climbing farther up will be as restful
as traveling downstream by boat, you will
be where this pathway ends, and there you can
expect to put your weariness to rest.
I say no more, and this I know as truth.'"
Dante, Purgatorio IV.88-96

Tooth Witch
Tooth Witch, Tooth Fairy's wicked sister, seems to be here for real. We had it easy with the first two teeth, but for the past couple of days Sava behaves crabby, refuses to eat and drink, and barely naps, which must mean that more toofers are coming in. I hope four teeth break through at once and that we are seeing the worst of it.
