Big Teeth

Ethan used "big kid" toothpaste for the first time tonight while brushing his teeth. He did GREAT! Last Tuesday was his checkup and he did a good job (I brought a book to read this time!) and got a new "Cars" toothbrush and some "Kid's Crest" toothpaste in his goodie bag. The toothpaste is blue & has sparkles in it. He thought it was cool.

I put a little on his new toothbrush and reminded him that if he felt like he needed to swallow that he should spit into the sink instead. He was brushing & spitting like a pro! A few months ago I bought some tiny plastic cups at Wal-Mart because he had decided he wanted to start "rinsing" after he brushed. So, I got those out and he did a good job rinsing tonight. I don't even think he swallowed any of the toothpaste and he said it tasted really good. Man, he is getting big.
