Who Says Brushing Teeth Can't Be Fun?

Being a 'people person', Rai, you like to spend as much time with us as you can. That means being in the kitchen while we're preparing dinner, sitting at the table with us while we eat, and joining us back in the kitchen when we clean up. If you're so eager to follow us while we do chore-like activities, we definitely will not object to that!
Now that you're becoming more capable with your limbs, you not only like to join us but you also like to mimic us if possible. If we're drinking, you want a cup. If we're cleaning, you want to hold something and pretend to clean too although that usually means you making more of a mess. Recently, this carried over to the bathroom too.
You were hanging out with us while we brushed our teeth and just had to do the same. With six teeth, you have more than earned the right to brush your teeth! We gave you your mini-brush and you did your best to do as we were doing -- moving the brush this way and that in your mouth. Ultimately, as with everything that goes in your mouth, you just ended up chewing it. Still, if you're interesting in imitating us when we do good things like brushing our teeth, we're glad to see it! Next time I'm sweeping the floor, I'll make sure to have you nearby.
