Pearly Whites

The dentist came to visit Sophie's school last week and apparently she really got the message about maintaining healthy teeth. I was sound asleep when Sophie started screaming for me. As I enter her room, she is frantically talking about her teeth and whether or not they are clean and healthy. I reassure her and let her know she brushes all the time and does a very good job....I pat her on the back as I am half asleep and tell her to go back to bed.

Moments later, she is in my room, telling me she doesn't feel like she did a good job brushing tonight and also forgot to floss. As soon as I tell her not to worry about it and she'll do a better job in the morning, she insists on brushing her teeth (this is at midnight, mind you) and flossing. So, instead of fighting her, I got up and we brushed and flossed our teeth together in the middle of the night. I'm not sure what this dentist said, but she is religious about flossing and brushing now....if only she didn't have to do it in the middle of the night!
