The daily job of brushing teeth is never a fight, but fun! The boys know that before playing in the basement, they must brush their teeth after breakfast. They don’t mind, in fact they run or skip to the bathroom stool. They each get a turn to work on their teeth, then I take over with my song. This morning H tried to sing our song as he brushed…pretty funny!
Nanny Trisha also created her own song… here are both! Simple, easy, done. And like one of my favorite Nannies says… “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun!” ~ Mary Poppins
“Brush Your Teeth”
Written by: Nanny Greta
Brush your teeth, Brush your teeth, A-B-C-D-E-F-G
Brush your teeth, Brush your teeth, H-I-J-K-LMNOP
Brush your teeth, Brush your teeth, Q-R-S-and T-U-V
Brush your teeth, Brush your teeth, W–X–Y–Zeeeeee!
“Toothbrush Song”
Sung to the tune: I’m a Little Teapot
Written by: Nanny Trisha
I’m a little toothbrush,
Look at me,
I like to brush all the teeth in your mouth,
All you have to do is open wide,
And I’ll brush all the teeth inside.
As Trisha says…”The length of this song usually is enough time to get the job done. I change the last line all the time to spice it up.”
