Big boy step stool!

Cooper LOVES to brush his teeth. When you say "let's go brush your teeth" he rubs his finger back and forth in his mouth and runs to the bathroom. Usually I set him on the toilet so he can watch himself in the mirror and he loves it. We decided recently that we wanted to get him a stool so he can step up to the sink and get his brush wet on his own and everything. He also loves this new "big boy" thing. He's growing up so ridiculously fast it's scary, but I love to see how grown up and independent he is becoming.

I wanted to document Cooper partaking in "big boy activities" because yesterday I saw something that struck me as silly. I was watching Nanny 911 and on the show the mom was brushing her 7 year olds teeth. I realize that young kids can't quite brush their teeth very accurately (which is why I go over Cooper's with a wash rag) but I think you should let them at least get used to the routine and have some sense of independence. But this lady wouldn't even let her 7 year old hold his tooth brush. Strange.

Here is my 15 month old brushing his own teeth!

Here is his big boy stool!
He thinks he is pretty cool!
He loves to look in the mirror!
But his favorite is holding his brush under running water!
