Mommy Makes Teeth Brushing Success

The thing about children is you will do just about anything to make tasks like teeth brushing a success. For me, this included dancing and making up songs on the fly. Things I would have never done before are now part of my arsenal to encourage my son to do things.

So here is my Teeth Brushing Song (tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Brush, brush, Your Teeth
Every day and night
Round and Round and you go
To Keep your pearlies bright.

This song is sung over and over, until Dustin's teeth are clean. Before this singing and dancing foolishness, he would always fight against me and everyone ended up frustrated. Now, the task is fun for both of us.
