I Think She May Be Coming Down with a Case of OCD

On Tuesday, I took K to the dentist. She is a great patient and did everything she was asked to do. I must give some of the credit to the hygienist who explained everything to K beforehand and even let her play with some of the equipment. And in the grand dentist tradition, K got a goodie bag filled with all things dental: floss, kid-friendly mouthwash, toothpaste, and the beloved toothbrush (Pirates of the Caribbean!).

Ever since that day, K has become obsessed with brushing her teeth. And flossing. And rinsing. After every single thing she eats. Especially if it has sugar in it. Sugar of any kind. Like after she ate a pear for a snack yesterday. After she got home from school. After dinner. Before bed. Before school this morning. Flossing and rinsing with mouthwash included.

I realize that it is probably just a phase but there's only so many times you can brush your teeth!
