THANK YOU ELMO!

I had a big Mummy Moment this week!

Ashton strongly detests brushing his teeth and every time we do it, it is a HUGE drama! So finally the other night, (while Ashton was running in the oposite direction from his tooth brush) I said to Kris, look up "Elmo brushing his teeth on YouTube! There has to be something!". . .  AND THERE WAS!

I brought Ashton over to the computer and showed him Elmo brushing his teeth and after the initial excitement of seeing Elmo and once he realised what Elmo was doing, Ashton picked up his tooth brush and started brushing his teeth! When the clip had finished he said, "More Elmo teeth!" so we did it again and he brushed again!

Since then Ashton asks "Elmo teeth?" while reaching for his tooth brush. I still have a little battle when I ask if I can have a turn (to make sure his teeth get a good clean) but all in all, thanks to Elmo, our teeth brushing experience is a lot more pleasant!
