I expected that I would have a toddler who would throw tantrums because of denial of any of the following things: candy, snacks, soda, new toy, going home, staying here, staying up late.
I did not expect I would have a toddler that would throw a 15 minute tantrum because I made him stop brushing his teeth.
Mind you, he had been brushing them for 20 minutes. I think those teeth were clean, for goodness sakes.
I certainly hope you didn’t look at him and say:
Freak
.
Of course not. We’re trying to help him develop good self esteem.
But I thought it.
I have no problem with anyone thinking freak.
*thinks*
You’d better stop before my mockingbird mouth overloads my jaybird butt and I get called something worse.
*stops*
Because then I’d have to stamp my dainty foot, and well, you know.
hey at least you have this problem. on the other hand you could go bankrupt buying toothpaste.
And, believe me, that baby toothpaste is ‘spensive.
Baby anything is ‘spensive.
Except for baby drool, which is both free and plentiful.
they actually have baby toothpaste?? whatever for when i was a kid we had crest that came in a funny color or perhaps had a picture of ren and stimpy on the tube. ::sighs:: those were the days i miss ren and stimpy.
My sister made a short film in college about her obsessive teeth-brushing. Her gums were receding!
