The dangers of brushing your teeth

I went to the dentist last week for a check-up. When I mentioned that Caleb has been teething, the hygienist suggested I start brushing Caleb's gums now, before his first tooth breaks through. She said that not only would it feel good on his sore gums, but it would also eliminate the bacteria in his mouth that might make him ill during the teething process.

Being the diligent mother that I am, it took me almost a week to get around to doing anything about it. However, I finally made it to the store yesterday and purchased Caleb his very first toothbrush. He seemed to enjoy the whole thing pretty well, the soft little brush and the fruit-flavored baby-safe toothpaste. . . .that is until he jammed his finger into his eye while trying to suck the yummy toothpaste off his fist. Josh caught the mishap on video.

Check out the face Caleb makes just after he pokes his eye. It's quite comical!

I thought that was a new haircut I saw in that video! Yes, very chic. And that poor boy just didn't know what hit him (in his eye...). :(
