We've been bad and simply put off trying to brush his teeth. It's such a struggle getting him to cooperate sometimes so we hadn't yet tried.
Last night I picked up some toddler toothpaste and this morning got his toothbrush and gave it a first go.
Oh my god.
He hated it oh so very much.
His world ended.
Even though he hated it I knew I'd have to try again before he went off to bed. Daddy watched while I asked declan to help hold the toothpaste, open the drawer and then after putting a little fruity paste on the toothbrush I went in and...
He was fine.
He smiled.
After we finished he clapped and smiled. I rinsed his toothbrush and then Declan put everything away.
We all clapped and I told Declan how proud I was of him.
That was unexpected.
Let's see what tomorrow morning brings when I go in for attempt #3.
