Toothbrushes

Now that Anders has teeth we really need to start brushing them. I tried using one of those little rubber "thimbles" with nubs that I place on my finger but Anders would just try to chew on my finger. Those teeth are sharp!

Anders has always been interested in watching us brush our teeth so we decided to try a real toothbrush. We started with one toothbrush for Anders but that didn't work so well because he wants to hold it himself. He seems to know what to do with it in general, but his technique isn't very effective. So we decided we would buy a second toothbrush so that Anders can hold one and we can brush his teeth with the other. Well, guess what: Anders has two hands. I think we need to get a third. He loves those toothbrushes.

He has good form, but sometimes misses important details:

The toothbrushes are so popular that they come along for the rest of the bedtime routine as well.
