January 19, 2018

Yesterday we all ended up with new toothbrushes. My oldest wanted a new toothbrush. Pets the cartoon characters were on the toothbrushes. He forgot about them until today. He sees the toothbrushes in the bathroom in the morning and turns to me and says “hay, mom, toothbrushes. Brush teeth”. Then his little brother came in to the bathroom. They both were standing on there stools in front of the sink. Edwin grabbed his new toothbrush and mine and his brothers. He passed out the toothbrushes. He said "Ethan ,Mom, Edwin". I was singing my toothbrush song to them while brushing my teeth. "Brush, Brush, Brush, Brush your teeth. We brush them in the front then we brush them on the sides. and don't for get to brush your tongue ." Edwin is repeating everything I am saying in his own words. "Brush, Brush, Brush, Brush your teeth Ethan. Ethan brush teeth in front. Ethan brush teeth on sides. ETHAN, Ethan brush your tongue." Then he puts his toothbrush under the water and puts it back in his paw patrol toothbrush holder and for the first time he drank some water from his cup full of water and spit it out. he turns to me and says "look Edwin spit it out." Some of you may be wondering why I am so happy about that moment. The reason is that I been working with him on rinsing out our mouths after we brush our teeth. he would always drink the water and never spit it back out. well today was the first day he finally spit the water back out and it was more then once. I love how Edwin was telling his little brother how to brush his teeth. Ethan is still learning on how to brush his teeth.
