Brushing the teeth
January 17th, 2008
We thought we should start brushing (or at least attempting to) Ave’s teeth since we want him to have good dental hygiene and all that. So we got him a little baby toothbrush and some tropical fruit training toothpaste. At first it was really easy because he was intrigued as to what was going on. He would even hold his mouth open waiting for you to do it. He also sees me brushing my teeth in the morning and thinks its absolutely fascinating. Well lately he’s moved on to the “I can do it myself!!” phase of life and insists upon “brushing” his own teeth. He puts the toothbrush in his mouth and goes up and down and in and out like hes brushing. I think he’s copying me brushing my teeth in the morning. He gets a little overly excited about the whole endeavor and does a good job on his back gums. He won’t let me touch the top teeth since 2 are still coming in on the sides. I tried using a piece of cheesecloth to just rub over the teeth (since he wont let me use the toothbrush anymore) and he bit me. Oh well.
