Tonight I have to record this precious moment of time with my children. Baby K is now 20 months old and wants to do EVERYTHING her big sis and bro do, no matter what. Tonight baby K was in A's bathroom and A wanted to brush K's teeth. I got the toothbrush ready and handed it off. K let her do it for a minute and then she was done. In the meantime, I got A's toothbrush ready for her to brush her own teeth. A starts brushing her own and I look down to see K just moving her arm back and forth like she is really "brushing" her teeth like an adult. It's the cutest thing ever. It took me back to when B and A were the same way...they want to brush their own teeth so badly, but they just aren't really "brushing" them. I'm having a bit of a mommy moment, when K takes the toothbrush out of her mouth, leans over (she's just standing in the middle of the bathroom floor) and proceeds to make a spitting sound. She stands back upright and continues to brush away. She brushes for a few seconds and repeats the faux "spitting" several more times. I just crack up silently not to distract the cuteness that I am observing. B comes in to check on his sisters and sees what I'm silently giggling about and he just starts laughing too. Before you know it, the 4 of us are watching her "brush" her own teeth and "spit" on the floor (luckily there was never any spit that came out of her mouth). She is just cracking up and continues to entertain us. By the end, she is up on the counter (me holding her) and really practicing how to rinse and spit.
It's nights like tonight that make me so thankful to have been blessed with my three beautiful, healthy children that have brought so many wonderful gifts to the family. Tonight was truly a gift of laughter that brought joy to us all from Baby K. Makes me wonder what life will be like when she is no longer a toddler. I do know one thing, this does NOT make we want to have a fourth child. Just want to clear up any confusion.
