Does this look familiar? It's one of the first activities of our day that sends me a clear signal. Either the process goes smoothly (and we're going to start our day off on a high note) or it's a battle (and the day starts with a grumble or disagreement). No matter - it has to be done. Faith is starting to be more independent with her teeth brushing and she's very proud when she gets a compliment. Olivia just wants to do what Faith's doing. Do you remember learning the "proper" technique? Circles near the gum line. Truthfully, I brush my teeth about 4 times a day. When I wake up, before the six and ten o'clock news (pieces of food in your teeth on live TV is not good) and sometimes before I go to bed. I know, that should be the one absolute. But some nights I'm so exhausted by 11:30 - I just want to go to sleep. Do you have any daily rituals that you use to gauge the success of your day?
