Brushing Teeth

For some reason, Rowan has decided she doesn’t like brushing her teeth. Well, she hasn’t come out and said it, but her actions say it loud and clear.

She use to be the one I could go to to show the others the proper way to brush, but now… Now she counts, but the toothbrush doesn’t move. And when you call her on it, she acts like she has the strength of someone with no muscle tone and brushes her teeth that way. Her brother and sister constantly tell me she’s not brushing to which she vehemently denies their claim. I think they are telling the truth and when she’s caught, she starts brushing her teeth when she hears me approaching.

So now I’m going to have to solve this problem two fold, though I don’t know where it all went so wrong. One, I’m going to have to put the smackdown. And two, I’m going to have to watch her like a hawk when she brushes. I’ll ignore the tears and the protests that she is doing it the right way.
