who answered my teeth brushing post.

Y'all made me realize I am over-reacting by saying her teeth are gonna
rot out of her mouth.....although her sisters might, but that's a
different story.

And thanks for giving all the great ideas. I am just going to remind
her from time to time.....gently, and next time we hit Target maybe we
will make more options available to her so it's a fun thing. Although
she is allergic to food dye, so I do have to be careful with what kind
of toothpaste or mouth wash.

Also be in there doing your routine at the same time and ask her if
she'd like to brush with you. I remember being sent to get ready for
bed and brushing teeth was interminable! I was so conscious of doing
it while others were doing other things and *I* could have been doing
other things that the seconds it took seemed to last half an hour.

Eventually (but how long that will be can't be known ;-) she'll be
able to do it without thinking about it and it won't seem that big of
a deal.
