Like all parents, we were trying to get you to start brushing your teeth - can't remember when - but sometime after you had your teeth. I do remember we had to graduate from those soft brushes which the parents put on their finger and bravely put in their infants' mouth. Ouch!
And like all kids - you didn't see any value in simply following what you are being told - especially by parents! Who comes to rescue - Bruno Mars' Brush your teeth song! While the video came in pretty handy originally, to this day we use this song to make sure you spit (and not eat the "yummy" paste) - Brush, brushie, brush, brushie, brush, brush - SPIT.
I do remember we had a hard time making you stop brushing your teeth for a few weeks :)
Dental facts about you - your first year check up was at a proper clinic by Dr. Gregory Nash. But that was before Kunal chachu moved to Seattle! Yay! Your 2 year check up happened on our own living room couch in all of 60 seconds; over tea ;) And your third year check up ... oops!! I heard Megha Chachi recently became an orthodontist - time to call them over to dinner again ;)
Your growing up has made flossing with a real floss a secret solitary indulgence for me! You will see why: Big Brushie video of Milosh That's right - you have to empty any floss that comes your way. What we are left with is those kiddie flosses.
Now that we can talk you into things, we have told you that not brushing your teeth can lead to holes in your teeth ;) ball's in your court - you chase us to get your teeth cleaned! So glad this is not a blog on parenting advice ;) We recently dropped you to one of the parents' survival night things for a movie night at your school - we had left your brush and paste as well. Apparently you educated them about how not to get holes in your teeth. When picking you up, the teacher told us she is going to use this one!
