Just doing my motherly duty!

Oh come on...haven't you ever fallen asleep brushing your teeth? YES, she is out cold! I have this thing! I don't want my children to have bad teeth like I do. They HAVE to brush! It is my rule...yes, I guess even if they are asleep. She was eating dinner and was falling asleep. I tried to get them brushed before she went out completely, but it was just too late. Wow, it is actually easier that way. There you go Ruth, you once asked me how to brush your child's teeth when they absolutely refuse. Just wait until she is asleep!

Yeah - that would be much easier. Funny thing - Ashley LOVES mint flavor. Last night her toothpaste was downstairs and I was too lazy to get it. I probably should have, but I put a tiny bit of Crest on her tooth brush (way small than a pea-size) and brushed her teeth. At first she cried, but once she tasted the flavor, she was pretty good. Can they make "training toothpaste" that is mint flavor?

Wow. You are good!!!! I also don't want my kids to have bad teeth like mine but somehow that isn't enough motivation for me to really buckle down on the teeth brushing. You've inspired me. For tonight, at least :)
