Like Nails on a Chalkboard

Elijah’s developed a nasty habit, which Jon and I (and Grandma Amanda) really want him to stop – he grinds his front teeth together. Over and over. The sound goes right through you, like little tiny nails going down a chalkboard. My skin is crawling just typing about it! We keep saying, “Eh eh eh” and “Icky” and “Don’t grind your teeth” while placing our hand on his jaw, but he’s not getting with the program yet. We’ll keep trying, because, not that our little angel could ever be annoying, but that sound is getting on my nerves!
