First Temper Tantrum
It could have been over something worse, like candy, or not getting a pony for her birthday, but Sophie decided to perform her first throw down for her toothbrush.
Since she now has three teeth we got her a "big girl" toothbrush that she can hold herself. She brushes her teeth at night and in the morning. Today, she was in the bathroom trying to see her toothbrush on top of the counter so I gave it to her thinking it is probably good to keep her interested in brushing her teeth.
Unfortunately, she wants to brush her teeth, her ear, the floor, anything in sight. I was trying to coax it away from her but she kept whining. Finally she lost interest and dropped it on the floor so I picked it up. About a minute later realizing she no longer had her toothbrush, she bent herself in half throwing her upper body on to the floor. Then she started bashing her head against the carpet and screaming for her toothbrush. I was laughing hysterically but trying to hide it from her. Does she really love her toothbrush this much? Watch, soon she'll be sleeping with it.
We all survived. I'll just have to figure out a better way to get it away from her.
