Flouride Smoothies
Often when two or more children are playing together they a make a bit of noise. It’s when it gets quiet that you start to worry.
Sometimes when it’s quiet the boys are actually, amazingly, just playing quietly so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt and not always go running. Yesterday they were a little too quiet in the bathroom. The room where the toilet is either being flushed or water being splashed in the sink (or more recently cups of water from the sink being dumped [read that as 'splashed'] into the bathtub). Checking on them I found that they had made themselves some flouride smoothies.
Here’s the recipe if you’re interested.
Fill the bottom of a cup with toothpaste.
Add water to the top.
Drink.
Yum!
At least I know that they can squeeze they’re own paste! I think I should be teaching them to swish and spit, just in case the need for a smoothie arises again.
