Tooth love

I have been encouraging Will to teach Patrick how to do things lately, trying to develop his nurturing side. (And it's nice to have a helper in the house!) Will has somewhat reluctantly starting to teach Patrick how to get dressed each morning. It's a start! Last night, I asked Will to help Patrick brush his teeth after Will announced he would "go get the toothbrushes ready." The next thing I know, Will's in the kitchen, with Patrick's toothbrush in hand. It was the sweetest thing to watch. I took a bunch of photos--thank goodness my phone was sitting right there on the counter. Moving away to find the camera would have ruined the moment, broken the spell. It got pretty silly at the end, but Patrick had the cleanest teeth in the house!

Will,

You are such a good brother! Patrick, you are so lucky to have such a great big brother to teach you these things! Loved seeing both of you. Maybe one of these days I'll see you on Skype.

Loved looking at these!!!! There was a time when Sarah took it upon herself to brush Hayden's teeth! He was just a little boy like Patrick, when a dollop of toothpaste found it's way onto a toothbrush, and into his mouth....she was sooooo proud of her efforts to assist him, and he in return rewarded her with a gleaming smile! It was a great moment! P.S I was thankful to have my camera close by as well.........
