This is the way I brush my teeth...


Getting Isabel to brush her teeth used to be such a drag for her, but I'm persistence... as much as I can, I try not to miss a time for her to brush teeth.
All I ask for is 2 times a day: First thing in get morning, and the last thing before she goes to bed.
But in reality...

Me: Bel... time to brush your teeth and go to bed...
She: Wait...
Me: Why... please hurry up...
She: I just want to finish watching this show...
(This is the part where Supernanny's training kicked in, always giving them time to react, give warning first)
Me: OK... Once it over, I want you to come brush your teeth.
She: OK...

But once in the toilet, she'll have her ritual...

-She'll wait for me to set the toothpaste and brush with her glass of water nicely the call her "it's ready"... then she'll make her entrance. Followed by:

-Make funny faces at the mirror (maybe to practice facial expressions)

-Hold up the toothbrush and set it down cos suddenly she got the urge to pee...

-Sing a little song, then ask some questions about this and that...

Finally she starts brushing...

Shawn would sprout the water out of his mouth all over the sink whenever he brushes his teeth.

Ally doesn't have a ritual yet... she likes to chew on the toothbrush.
