The Toothbrush

Jack is a busy boy these days.  Always getting into something.  He loves to build towers with blocks and seems to have a natural skill at it.  He loves to sit in his pool floatie and just hang out.  He loves to read books on his little red chair.  His favorite books are books with animals, balls, and cars.  He has a few animal sounds and actions he knows.  He can do a pig, monkey, owl, fish, cow, snake, and a few others here and there.  He can also fold his arms (for about 5 seconds) and he recognizes Jesus.  As you can see from most of these pictures he also LOVES having a toothbrush in his mouth.  It was funny at first but then it started to worry me seeing him run around the house with it so I tried taking it away and that didn't go well.  Then an awesome coincidence happened.  We had a guest speaker at our women's conference and she just so happened to have designed a bendable toothbrush that is safer for children to use.  She had a grandson fall on his toothbrush.  It went through the roof of his mouth and into his brain. He was okay in the end.  How sad though!!  She was so kind that she gave a bunch away to mothers with babies.  So now Jack carries his banana brush around and I am not so stressed.  They sell these toothbrushes at Toys R Us.  Here  is the link: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3476181
