Brushing

Hana likes brushing her teeth. We have this little baby tooth brush that is like a rubber finger puppet with soft bristles, and it squeaks when it rubs on her gums, plus she likes the water, so she just giggles the whole time. I was reading that you are also supposed to brush the baby's tongue, if they'll let you, so tonight I tried it, and lo and behold, I said "ah" and stuck out my tongue, and she copied me, and I brushed her tongue, and she giggled more. She thought it was great. She even seemed disappointed when we were all finished, which is a good sign. Hopefully she will look forward to the great joy of brushing her teeth every night before bed. She must get it from her Daddy cause I hated brushing my teeth as a kid.
