Week in Review
Written on April 28, 2006 by Rylan.
Another week passes. Another trip for daddy. Dad had to go to California for a business trip yesterday. It wasn't very fun not seeing him for most of the day but he made it up to me this morning and changed my diaper before he left for work today. I sure hope he didn't go to Disneyland while he was there because I don't think that would be very fair.
My chompers continue to come in and they are certainly razor sharp. I like to rub my tongue across the new teeth. I am still very curious about them. Mom bought a baby toothbrush and has begun brushing my 2 teeth. This is OK but what I really want is a big boy brush. I proved to mommy that I am able to brush my teeth with a real brush when I stole it from her and stuck it in my mouth.
As you can see in my Photo of the Day, I am able to use my new walking toy as a guide to help me stand up. I really enjoy doing it because it makes me feel big. I get so excited that I usually get all smiley and I end up letting go. Daddy is always there to catch me. I sure like him.
I went to my Aunt Erica's house the other day. I haven't seen her in a while. She really enjoyed seeing me I think. I was excited too and showed her my cute smile a whole bunch.
Mom taught me how to make enchiladas last night while dad was on his way home. I can't wait to really help her in the kitchen. I think it will be fun cooking and baking with her. My dad knows how to cook things as well. I sure am lucky.
Have a good weekend.
10 Good reasons to brush babies teeth
1. Looking after first teeth is essential for a healthy mouth through to adulthood
2. Dental flora of the adult mouth is already set during the growth of the first teeth
3. Baby teeth are placeholders for adult teeth- if they are lost early, overcrowding and shifting
can occur which may lead to the necessity of orthodontic braces to straighten the teeth
4. It prevents caries which forms when saliva combines with sugars - remember even breast
milk contains sugars !
5. It reduces tooth decay thereby lessening the need for dental intervention
6. Healthy teeth allow proper chewing of food to assimilate the necessary nutrients
7. Our inability in the modern western world to access truly unprocessed natural foods makes
brushing an essential tool against decay and gum disease
8. For the self-confidence of your child- healthy teeth allow proper and clear speech
9. Missing teeth, decaying teeth or bad breath can lead to your child being teased by other
children
10. Healthy looking teeth contribute to the positive self image of your child
