As I mentioned in an earlier blog, one of my favourite features of bath times is when I get to use the toothbrush…only not for brushing my teeth…
It feels so much more fun when I use it to pretend cooking ‘chicken’ in the bathroom, or when I’m biting it! Hee! Anything but using it to brush my teeth! I really dislike the feeling of the stick of brush poking and scrubbing the insides of my teeth. Quite ticklish too, I guess. :-p
Anyway, Papa has been trying all sorts of methods of getting me to brush my teeth. Some of his ‘brushing teeth’ customised songs that he sings to me to spur me to brush my teeth include..
(tune of O Clementine)
You MUST brush your teeth tonight
Brush it left and brush it right
Brush it up and brush it down
Spit the water on the ground!
and to the tune of Row Row Row your Boat:
Brush, brush, brush your teeth…brush it left and right
Gargle, gargle, gargle, gargle…spit it out of sight
Brush, brush, brush your teeth…brush it up and down
Gargle, gargle, gargle, gargle…spit it on the ground!
Sigh…makes me wonder why we should brush our teeth. Anyone out there have tips to make brushing teeth more exciting?
