Brushing teeth

Daddy is in charge of brushing Stephen and Boston’s teeth.  Most nights are a typical battle but they do have a little fun too.  Scott gets them to open their mouths by saying the cutest little chant.  I can’t really convey the way it sounds in writing but he basically says “teeth like a tiger, a scary fierce tiger…”  “ahh like a hippo, a mighty mighty hippo…” “tongue like a snake, a slimy slippery snake…”  The tiger gets them to bare their teeth, the hippo is so he can reach their molars, and the snake is so he can brush their tongues.  Scott is so clever to think of a way to make brushing teeth a little more fun.

It cracks me up that Stephen is trying to tackle Scott and pull him over in these pictures.

That's a great idea! I got Blake a spin brush during the after Christmas sale and it has made brushing teeth so much more fun!
