The brushing adventure continues....


The guest bathroom has pretty much been designated as Carter's bathroom. Granted, I haven't full blown decorated it with a monkey shower curtain (there is a bathroom set at Target I have had my eyes on), but all his bath stuff and toothbrush/holder are permanent fixtures. Unfortunately, we don't have a stepladder tall enough to get Carter up to the mirror....so he gets to stand on the counter in the meantime. Not exactly the safest option, but we are both always in there with him....one supervising, one taking pictures. Nonetheless, there is adult supervision at all times.

Carter really enjoys brushing his teeth (for now). I'm sure this will change in a year or so when he realizes that brushing isn't fun anymore. It's a chore. But a part of life, nonetheless.

For now? He embraces it. Personally, I think he's just too enamored with that little boy in the mirror who comes out to play every night when it's time to brush. Hey, whatever gets it done, right?

Carter is now obsessed with re-wetting his toothbrush 38 times during one brushing session. As long as it keeps him brushing those pearly whites, I'm fine with it.

What HE isn't fine with is when brushing time is over and the toothbrush gets put away out of reach. Let me tell ya, he is NOT ok with that. Very uncool, mom.

Ahhh, poor baby. Who would have ever thought that a boy, no less, would be upset about not getting to brush his teeth. :o(

Too flippin' cute!!! He is sooooo adorable. The little girl that I watch loves to brush her teeth too.

Of course the part that she really likes is rewetting her tooth brush and sucking the water off~hoover style!! Rinse.Repeat.

She has a Dora stool that she stands on at my house. Your son might be a little too vertically challenged for a stool just yet.

Cute pics nonetheless!!! Priceless.
