Teething, clingy daughter and manic son

So apparently Ben didn't nap at nursery today.  The staff told me he was a little "manic" this afternoon.  i think this is probably nursery speak for "he was a little shit all afternoon" given my own experience of Ben when he doesn't nap.  hey ho, maybe I will reap the benefit tomorrow although experience has shown that's often not the case and he is usually really tearful the next day.
Rebecca, on the other hand, needed lots of sleep today following a night of being clingier than a clingy clingon.  She would yell, fall asleep in our arms, be put down in her cot and immediately push herself up into a sitting position and yell again.  This went on for a LONG TIME about midnight/-ish which led to a seriously droopy-eyed mum and dad this morning.  She's been a bit rubbish for the past few days and is clearly getting another tooth, well I say clearly, but that's only really from the symptoms rather than actually seeing a tooth.  Thought we saw it Sunday, but then it disappeared yesterday, but I think it's visible again today, but it may just be us imagining things and wanting to see something for our troubles.
On the more positive side she is great fun now and watching her stand herself up is funny (except in the bath where she seems to refuse to sit down now).  Ben is also really sweet at the moment (when not sleep deprived) although his world has just got tougher now that Becca is on the move and constantly trying to eat his toys.  The house now constantly rings to the sound of "No Becca, that's my toy...."
