A Regular Sunday Night

We are really into routine's around here with our evenings. So, I just loved this picture of our two little ones getting bathed and brushing their teeth.

Now is also a good time to write down that Atticus has been brushing his "tees" at the bathroom counter since late January. Prior to that, Vic or I would brush them with water while he sat in his high chair. Now, however, he gets up on his stool twice a day (or let's be honest here - sometimes we just run out of time in the mornings before work or totally forget at night before bed, but we shoot for twice a day) and we brush our teeth. There is a little song on his cd in the car that sings "when you wake up in the morning at a quarter to two, (something, something, something) what do you do? you brush your teeth. ch-ch-ch, ch-ch-ch, ch-ch-ch.". It's a silly song, but we sing it sometimes before we brush. Then, I put the toothpaste on and brush his teeth while we sing the ABC's (so he knows how long he has to let me brush before he can do it) and then he takes the toothbrush to brush them himself. This way, we actually clean them a little before he plays. But, it works!
