My youngest seemed to have problems when his teeth came in and my older child had soft teeth and problems as well. It must run in the family as I have a mouth of fillings. We let him brush his own teeth after lunch and I do it with him at bedtime each night to make sure it's thoroughly done. I also make the request that after a sugary treat both boys don't wait until after their next meal but brush their teeth promptly. Good advice.

Instead of fighting with him (since we had no plans outside the house anyway) I just let it go. My mom instinct told me to get the child dressed but he was happy and what would it hurt? We had bathtime and fresh pjs that night we were all just fine and I figured , 'why obsess?' I hear you on rushing..sometimes our kids teach us a lot about smelling the flowers :) The other day my 4 year old wanted to stay in his pajamas all day.
