Steve and I still "touch-up" Maxwell and Sophie's teeth brushing jobs. I guess it's the dentist (and dentist wife) in us that can't quite let us relinquish this fully. The other night I was touching up Sophie's teeth and she asked me if she had done a good job. I was brutally honest and told her "no", because I had just seen her brush her teeth very distractedly for about 45 seconds. She said, "Daddy always says I do a good job even when I don't". The next night I heard Sophie ask Steve "why do you always say I do a good job brushing?" and his response was "because I love you". And there you have it...Steve is a coddler!

Payne you're a wuss! But I love you. I wish you'd coddle me more. Romney
will he still love her when all her teeth fall out? tell sophie to ask him that.
As a dentist-brother-in-law many times over, I think that a scientific & sociological study should be undertaken on the effects of parental affection and withholding of parental affection on distracted toothbrushing.
Hmm... I'm guessing that was Mike and not Brooke that made that comment? Too funny. It's ok for you to be the teeth-brushing nazi.. I am the sunscreen nazi... it's just what moms do!!
