Getting teeth brushed before bath time always feels like a much bigger effort than it needs to be, well, at least getting Eli’s teeth brushed – Grace sorts herself out nicely. One I finally get Eli to the bathroom it usually goes something along the lines of, “Drink water…need to go wee…need to give mommy a hug…need to drink water…” Eventually the planets align and we can brush teeth, but it really is a run-around every single night.

Adam has made a difference though. Donné said to Eli, “Come show Adam how you brush your teeth,” and off Eli went happily and brushed his teeth very nicely and all on his own. We managed to replicate that again tonight, so let’s hope that Adam is the catalyst needed to get Eli brushing his teeth independently and without any complaints.
