Until recently, Rylan has never liked getting his teeth brushed. It was a dreaded battle that we'd have to endure every night. It would literally take two of us to get the job done. One of us would hold him down and the other would frantically try to brush his teeth as quickly as possible. It was a difficult task to brush thoroughly as he thrashed his head from side to side and screamed. We finally got smart and decided to go out and buy a Spiderman battery operated spinning toothbrush along with some tutti frutti Thomas toothpaste. We crossed our fingers and hoped that it would do the trick. I am happy to say that brushing Rylan's teeth is now an enjoyable event and he even wants to brush himself!

That looks like a fun toothbrush! It's funny how different kids like different things. Kariya LOVES to brush her teeth and asks to do it about ten times a day. :P
That is a great trick. I am glad it is working for you guys. Clara is okay at it but on her terms. I love the videos you posted below. So adorable! He is such a happy baby...it shows he has a loving family.
My friend had the same problem with her daughter, but when I babysat for her I didn't have any problems. I think it was because I had her brush her teeth while looking in the mirror so she was busy and having fun. :)
Wow! What a big boy for accepting the dreaded toothbrush!!
In this photo Rylan looks like he has red hair... where does that come from? I hope you guys are doing well.
