Five things I have learnt today about toothpaste.

1. Toothpaste is very expensive if you have to buy it more than once a day  week.

2. You can scrub your bathroom until it’s sparkling but if there is toothpaste to be found, expect to be scrubbing it again half an hour later.

3. Toothpaste can cause hives on soft toddler boy skin, especially “Extreme Clean plus Whitening” formula.

4. It also bleaches navy blue t - shirts.

5. If your toddler eats a tube of toothpaste for brunch (it’s not quite breakfast and it’s not quite lunch) expect the afternoon poo to be minty fresh and don’t be surprised when you find streaks of spearmint gel goodness.

    Don’t what ever you do, buy the one with the minty breath strips. They stick to everything and are a bastard to get off!

    Oh dear. Noah, why does she leave you unattended for even a split second? Surely, after two years, she knows better than that!

    Minty poo….beats the other kind!

    Bigger breakfast? Earlier lunch? Put a bowl of fruit where the toothpaste is supposed to be?

    Oh, that sounds a bit like my place. We go through so much, and it gets flicked and smeared everywhere. I’m glad they have moved past the eating it from the tube stage tho *hehe*

    Also, it’s a bit scary that it bleaches tshirts.

    Sorry but I laughed. The things we learn through having kids are funny.

    Somehow the three boys missed the toothpaste thing. Too bad. Some minty fresh poo would have been a welcome change.

    Oh my! But minty fresh poo might be better than….you know….poo poo. The son of a close friend went thru this phase of wanting to brush his teeth all the time - 4 or 5 times a day. One day he asked again if he could and where was the toothpaste. She went and grabbed it and gave it to him. A bit later he told her it tasted funny. She looked at the tube and saw that she had given him some sort of anti-itch cream. BLEH!!
