Tooth brushing is a little mixed. He likes it, but no enough to stay still for a thorough brush. That can lead to some tears. After he's done, though, he goes running off (giggling madly) to find his grandparents for hugs and kisses. It is so very adorable.
See if you can work a breath inspection in there, because that's how Matilda does it. She runs back for goodnight hugs and blows her minty breath into our faces.
Also, I've had good luck singing Ten Apples On Top in a faux operatic voice. You need to make Pavarotti gestures.

For Ryan, the payoff is the rinse 'n' spit. He enjoys that part. Not entirely willing to go through brushing all the teeth first.
I'm sure you know this, but don't worry too much about tooth-brushing technique at this age. It's not like they're keeping those teeth anyway.
It doesn't compare to the thrill-ride that is Ten Apples on Top, though. 'Apple' is one of his favourite words, and ten of them, all up on top like that, well. That's almost more than he can cope with.
How much do I love BillyTea? SO much.
Connie, in Illinois we're in the zone for greatest thread for tornadoes today. Nice. Our first really warm day too.
Every bit of snow is water in the reservoirs, so yay, water. But really. I should not still be scraping slush off my windshield.
Yup, us too, Connie. In fact we're snowed in at the moment. We didn't go to church this morning because the dirt roads are now mud roads. Should be fine by tomorrow for school, but today we're all tucked in. Which is good since the SO was up last night throwing up. No idea why, frozen pizza maybe?
Anyway, yeah, we need the water, so we'll take it. But sheesh.
April 10th. Still snowing.
This sounds like a diary entry that comes right before, "I'm thinking of killing and eating my partner."
On the other hand, it is too damn hot here and the pollen has hit defcon 4.
It's sunny and 70ish here. This is after a day and a half of thunderstorms and showers. Yeah, I'm happy for the resovoir and my garden, too.
