Brushing his teeth ...

Since Grady has two full teeth now (by "full", I mean they are all the way up through his gums and really noticeable), it's time for us to start brushing his teeth! I wouldn't have thought about it except I was reading a book that the public health nurse gave us and the book said that as soon as the baby's teeth are up, the parents need to take care of them.

After talking to a few different people (I called the public health nurse to confirm and spoke to our dentist), I bought Grady a tiny toothbrush. We are supposed to use it dry and gently scrub his two little teeth twice a day. Today was our first try and it went pretty well. At first, he didn't think much of it, but then he seemed to relax and enjoy it!
