"This is the way we brush our teeth..."

I love to brush my teeth!

We have been brushing Joshua's teeth, since he was about 5 months old(around the time he got his first teeth). We have brushed them almost everyday since then and we have a song and everything(we will share that a little later). For the past couple of weeks, he has been putting this toy screwdriver in his mouth and moving it around in his mouth. It is the same screwdriver each time and pretty much the same motion(side to side and all around). So Dan and I decided that he was trying to brush his teeth. So, we went and bought him another toothbrush that he can just have and play with. It is so funny to watch him with this toothbrush. They say that at around 13 to 14 months is when they start getting attached to things, I think Joshua's attachment will be the toothbrush. Some kids have toys or blankets, but not Joshua he will be the kid that carries around the toothbrush. He gets upset when you take it away from him. He crawls and plays with it in his hand. He stops every once in awhile to "brush" his teeth with it. We got an action shot of him brushing his teeth tonight all by himself. It is hard to teach good habits, I am amazed that this GOOD habit caught on so well. Like I have said in a previous blog, kids are like little sponges and this clip is proof!!! (He is looking in the mirror most of the clip, because the kid just can't stop looking and smiling at himself)
