We have started brushing R's teeth with toothpaste and in the AM (so twice a day now). This morning she wouldn't even open her mouth, I had to fight her to open her mouth. She was crying tears the whole time. Totally stopped and was fine when I was done. I tried singing to her a silly teeth brushing song.

DH holds her while he does. I just had her standing and I was squatted down to her height. Should I get a step stool so she can reach the sink?

Help! This makes me want to never brush her teeth again!
