I Finally Got My Own Toothbrush!

Tyler was introduced to brushing his teeth for the very first time this morning. Since he now has 6 teeth, we figured it was about time he got his very own toothbrush and start learning proper dental hygiene.

I passed him the toothbrush and let him play with it for a few minutes, then I grabbed my own toothbrush and showed him how Mommy brushes her teeth. It was only a matter of seconds, before he had the correct end of the brush in his mouth and he started imitating me. I then put some baby toothpaste on the brush and started lightly brushing his teeth. He liked the apple banana flavour of the paste. I was expecting this to be a difficult process, but he really seemed to enjoy the whole experience. Of course, at this stage, he likes anything that goes into his mouth!
