Pearce's first toothbrush!

Pearce's bottom teeth have come through!  You can see the left one really well and the right one is just peeking through.  So, of course we had to go get a toothbrush for those teeny tiny teeth!  I have since found out that I should have been brushing his gums BEFORE his teeth broke through...oops!  I expected to go to the toothbrush aisle and grab the one and only baby toothbrush which of course would come with toothpaste...uh, no.  There were several to choose from and I'm sure they are all the same, but I started comparing each one and reading about them.  And of course, I had to get something cute, too!  So I finally decided on a toothbrush, then I had to decide on the toothpaste...I thought I could get a "set", but no.  Now I can't even remember what I got, but it did have Thomas the Train on it, which I thought was cute :)  He is not quite sure about brushing his teeny tiny teeth, but it was fun watching him chew on it.

"See Mommy, you have to get way back there."

"Uh, ok, I really don't know what I'm talking about."

"Like this Mommy?"

"Hmmm....interesting."

"I'd rather just chew on this."

"Here, Mommy, get a picture of this real quick."

"Ok, Mommy, seriously...enough with the pictures and the high-pitch baby-talk."
