Big Boy Brushing

Big news at the Saunders House! I've started to express interest in brushing my teeth so Mommy and Daddy picked me up my very own baby Elmo brush and toothpaste.



I wasn't sure about it all, at first...



Look at me go! Big Boy Brushing!



It even matches my outfit! Yeah...Mommy's a freak. Don't tell anyone, but she looked high and low to find me a Rainforest toothbrush. FREAK!



Trying to convince Daddy to just let me do it! GEESH.



Thanks, Daddy - but I think I can do better myself. You're too messy, mister!



Told 'ya I knew how to do it.



"What do you MEAN you don't just chew on it? I thought that counted as brushing?"



"BETTER???" Mommy's such a nag.



"That's right ladies....your Luke is now minty fresh!"



Don't let the slobber mislead you chicas - I'm Rico Suave!



See - it's official! And...I'm the only male that Mommy lets use her bathroom (at least until I start potty training - then it's downstairs to the stinky Boy Bathroom!)



Since I did such a good job big boy brushing, Mommy let me pilfer her bathroom drawers and play with my new favorite electrical appliance - her curling iron!



Oh what a night - can you believe how big I'm getting! I have a total of 8 teeth now - 'bout time!



Another milestone for your favorite Baby Luke. Let's all pause as Mommy wipes the tears.

Luke-my-man,
Nice job. You have to remember to leave some room for cavities and future orthodontia. Mommy and Daddy can't miss the fun and expense of all those dental visits that Daddy required from Mim and Poppy. Love you like mad, Mim

Hey Luke, you think you could give Jadon some brushing pointers? He still has that gagging thing going on.
