Brusha, Brusha, Brusha

Anna, who obsesses over cleanliness (We are not sure why.) is just discovering the joys of brushing her teeth. For a while she did not find the joys that we all have come to know and love. Teeth brushing makes you feel great, it brightens your teeth, it freshens your breath, it keep dental bills to a minimum, and besides the Revolutionary war, it is the number one thing that divides Americans from the British. Anna has a number of toothbrushes as well as toothpastes to choose from. From time to time she would rather use one of ours. She can use Lydia's, not mine! I have always found this type of sharing disgusting.
Some parents have to fight with their children to get them to brush their teeth. This is not our problem, it is getting her to put it away that is our problem.

Does she throw out her toothbrush every Thursday? If not, that may be a good idea. I heard it helps with the OCD.

Just a reminder..First dental check up due at age 3. This is just a "getting to know you" event.Also be careful about the amount of toothpaste she uses. Just a pea size or less.Perhaps you use a kid fiendly paste? Toothpaste has chemicals that are not good for little peeps!!!!
