Brushing teeth

Ella's doctor told me a couple of weeks ago when I took her to the doctor that I had to start brushing her teeth.  If you have ever seen Ella with a toothbrush or toothpaste you would know why it was so hard to brush her teeth. First of all she ate the toothpaste. I don't blame her. It smelled like candy! She also like to have control of her toothbrush. Anytime I would try to come near her with a toothbrush she would start screaming, because SHE wanted to do it. 

After that appointment I told myself I was going to start brushing Ella's teeth. No matter what it took or how long, I was going to do it. I bought some kid's fluoride toothpaste at the store a couple days later, and the teeth brushing began. For the first couple of days Ella was not happy about me brushing her teeth. The first day she screamed, but I did it anyway just to show her who was boss. The second day I tried the sneak attack. I came up behind her, tilted her head back, and started brushing.  It took a couple of days, but teeth brushing is no longer a problem. She doesn't try to eat the toothpaste (she couldn't anyway since their is fluoride in it), and I have control of the brush. 

I took a little video today just so everyone can see how far she has come:)
