My Two Year Old Finally Let Me Paint Him!

I know it's just a tiger, but until now I have only been able to do a quick pumpkin on his forehead or something on his arm. I can't believe he let me, and he was SO good about it!
Look how cute my little chum is. I just love him so so much!
He carried around a little mirror all day to look at himself!

What a cutie!! I have an entire album dedicated to my toddler in tiger too.

NAW!!! Cute as!

hes so cute! rawr!

He is ADORABLE!

Aaaaaaaawm! Sooooo cute! I can't even think about painting my (almost) 2 y.o., he never sits still! (Luckily, bribes still work with his brother- 7 y.o.)

Ohhhh, he is so scrumpshiolicious! Beautiful work too

So cute and I love his amber necklace!

Thanks everyone! I am so happy, and I can't wait to paint him again!

@Sweethavenarts, thanks, it's a baltic amber teething necklace. His skin abosorbs the oils from the amber and I have never had to give him pain medicine for teething. Amber has incredible pain relieving qualities. I wear it in ankle bracelets when my knees bother me, and within 10 minutes, the pain is gone.

Yup, my two year old has one too and has been wearing it since he was about 4 mos. Though I just realized he took it off about a week ago and has had a bunch of rough nights, I should go find it!

I dont know how I lived without one with my other kids. We took Ryder's necklace off because it was dirty and within half an hour he was crying with teething pain.

Where do I get one?! I have 2 babies teething right now!!!

There are tons of places, just google amber teething necklace!

I got mine on etsy. YES GET THEM. My third was the only one who got one and man, why didn't I get them before?!?!?!

Make sure its BALTIC amber though. And yes, definitely get one! You will be SO surprised!

The third and fourth picture are worth hanging on a big wall, they're so beautiful!
Does he have big blue eyes!!

Beautiful!

lovely design and so very cute!

I love the idea of the amber soothing teeth, just a question tho' - is there a danger of the beads coming off and choking them? I remember giving one of my kids (youngest is now 13 so it was in the far distant past ) a teething biscuit and a bit broke off and made him splutter, luckily he coughed it back up quickly, but it was worrisome

@Helena, that's a great question and I wondered that myself before I had it in my hands to examine but nope. The string is knotted in between each bead, so if it were to break (which would be hard to do since its dental floss), the beads would still stay put. I'm telling you, the person who designed these is brilliant.
Mine has never really put his in his mouth anyway, so I never needed to worry about it, but I can't speak for anyone else on that.

My munchkin has a teething necklace too. It's got silk thread which is hard to break. It's got the knots between each bead too. Mine has a cool plastic threaded join- it's like a little plastic screw. It holds well but if yanked on hard (like heaven forbid it gets caught on something) the plastic threads will fail and it will break apart. The kids don't actually chew on the beads for relief, just wearing them gives relief. There is an oil in the amber that has analgesic (pain relieving) properties.
But my guy has chewed his a few times. And it's still in really good shape.

Melody, you said you also use them for knee pain on your ankle? I have RA in both ankles and knees and there is a lot of pain especially in the winter.

Ohhhhh, I thought they chewed on them for relief! How cool that they just absorb the amber! Good to be aware of for any other painful areas. Thanks for the info

Was gonna say the exact same thing!

HillBillyDiva, YES! If you have knee pain, wear amber. If you have back pain, wear amber around your waist. If you have hand and wrist pain, wear an amber bracelet!

@Sweethavenarts, I am thinking that's just like my sons. It has the snazzy screw on clasp too.

Aww what a QT!!!
