Maybe everyone knew this, but i just read that the recommendation is that you brush your teeth for minimum 2 minutes at a time.  I timed myself, and while there were times i was over the 2 minutes, in general i was clocking about 1.5 minutes….and sometimes (especially  running out the door), a lot less!

So now i am brushing for 2+ minutes every time, and i swear it makes a big difference!  I tried to do the same for the kids (was thinking that if i got to 1-1.5 minutes it would be successful as they have fewer teeth), but i now realise that with Luca i would have as much hope of climbing mount Everest without oxygen as getting him to allow me to brush his teeth for that length of time.  But we live in hope
