This week I decided to do a little bit with dental health. In October Braden accompanied me to my dentist appointment. He was more comfortable than I thought he would be and by the end was walking up and down the hallways while I was getting my teeth cleaned. They said next time we can try having him sit in the chair and getting used to opening up his mouth! I am a little nervous, because I want him to have a positive experience!
We started the week with some shaving cream toothpaste painting. Braden now does a great job of allowing us to brush his teeth, so I am hoping that will continue.
Then we worked on numbers and counting. We started with the outline of a mouth with blank circles for teeth. Braden would choose a number card and then count out that many marshmallows to represent teeth inside the paper mouth. Once he realized the marshmallows were tasty it was harder to get him to count them out without eating them!
