Friday

Pearly Whites?

Mom (before bedtime): Okay, Anders, time to brush your teeth.
Anders: Oh. Well, I will brush my teeth in the morning.
Mom: You need to brush your teeth in the morning AND at night.
Anders: I will brush my teeth on Monday.

So, what's a mom to do? I turn on the computer and google "tooth decay." Then I sit Anders on my lap and show him some prime pictures of what can happen if you don't take good care of your teeth.

Anders: Mom! Hurry, Mom! I need you to help me brush my teeth! Hurry! I don't want my teeth to get ROTTEN!

I've had no problem getting him to brush since. ;)

Smart idea! We have started to look up the benefits of each veggie to get Sarah to eat them.
