To Brush or not to Brush.

Audrey has a pretty consistent nighttime routine and part of that includes brushing her teeth. We usually tackle that while she's in the tub. She is not a big fan and when we give her the toothbrush and ask her to do it herself, she places the toothbrush in her mouth for a brief second, then hands it back to me. We sing songs about brushing teeth and she has watched us both brush our teeth, but she still is not convinced that this is an important task. Scott's latest idea involved her bath toys. She has a huge tub filled with various animals and he thought that if she brushed each of their teeth, she would be more inclined to brush hers. It works, but now instead of this being a 5 minute task it is more like 15 minutes. It takes a long time to brush all of their teeth and she really wants them to be clean. I miss the days where children brushed their teeth out of fear, just to avoid the cavity creeps. Remember this:
