We have been giving Brenna a little infant sized toothbrush with infant tooth gel on it for some time now. She loves it and wants to "brush" her teeth on her own. That is a wonderful and amazing thing, and we want to keep it up with her to build great habits later.
Here is what happened this evening. She got her bath, got dressed for bed, hair brushed, nails clipped etc. Ken gave her a binky and we were getting kisses and heading for the crib. She takes her binky out of her mouth and starts pointing at the top of her dresser. She pointed and said "this....this...this" THEN SHE POINTED AT HER TEETH. Lightbulb went on, and we realized that she was pointing at her toothbrush sitting on top of the dresser. Of course we gave it to her with a little bit of gel on it. She "brushed" her teeth and was happy as can be. She got a little miffed when we put the toothbrush away. She them proceeded to point at her teeth, smiled and said "teet". Whaaaaat? Um, holy cow. Brenna dear, you have to stop flooring your parents. They are old and cannot handle that kind of excitement.
Keep on brushing baby girl. I had to hold your brother down to brush his teeth until he was six!
I promise pics of this cuteness very soon. I only wish I would have had a video camera for tonight's fun!
