"Teeth, Teeth, Teeth"

Like most small children, Isaac wants to do whatever the adults or "big kids" are doing. He always wants to brush his teeth when we brush ours, and begins holding out his hand and hollering "teeth" over and over. Once he has the toothbrush, he likes to brush for about 10 seconds, and then hands it back and repeats the word "wet" until we re-wet it and hand it back to him. He then repeats the process. As long as he is the one doing the brushing, things roll along smoothly. When the time comes for one of us (or both of us) to help with the brushing, a battle ensues! That is, by far, the most unpleasant part of our nighttime routine.
