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...
