Major breakthrough today: I finally figured out how to brush my one-year-old’s teeth. The trick is to use my electric toothbrush and let him push the button when it’s in his mouth with part of the bristles touching both the back and the front of the teeth. He likes the vibration and he loves the taste of the toothpaste (which before he just sucked off the brush). Getting the back teeth is still pretty tough but hey, I didn’t start brushing my back teeth until I was like, twenty-six.
I figure he has some time to get the hang of it.

Molly also give it a try with kids toothpaste. Hillary loves the one that taste like blueberries! and if you show him how you do it then he will just copy you!
Now it has become a routine, albeit not his favorite one…
