Teeth Brushing

One thing this sickness made Carmen and me realize is that Jayden needs to be using toothpaste.  He had incredibly bad breath while he was sick - most likely because he was breathing through his mouth so much (I googled this because his breath was so bad I was afraid it meant something else was wrong).  But he's old enough and eating regular food, so toothpaste was probably needed anyway.

I bought this flavored non-fluoride toothpaste that's all-natural, safe to be swallowed, etc.  And Jayden loves it.  I also bought almost real toothbrushes.  Which he also loves.  Lizzle, you'd like them too - they're Winnie the Pooh!

Tonight I was brushing his teeth, which is almost never a fight anyway, but Jayden decided he was going to do it himself.  So he grabbed the toothbrush out of my hand, leaned over so he could rinse it and then started brushing.  He only brushed about a quarter of his teeth and spent half his time brushing his tongue so he could taste the toothpaste, but at least he enjoys it.
