October 22, 2014 By Thaleia 6 Comments

My kids love to dress up anytime of year for any reason. We have had many days where an Army man or Superhero has graced us with their presence. When our daughter was younger we had many tea parties with princesses. We also do lots of themed birthday parties like Spiderman, Superman, Princess, Candyland, Farm, Jungle Animals and Pirates where we ask everyone to dress up if they want to!

Impromptu Fall Nature Hike

We also have Hyland’s Teething Tabs which are homeopathic and have seemed to work pretty well. Sometimes the big kids have had aching teeth when one falls out and a new one is coming in. They will ask for a Hyland’s Teething tab.

We are super lucky that Lil’ Red is interested and willing to brush his baby teeth. If the bathroom door gets left open, then we usually find him standing on his stool with toothbrush in hand. I found an extra soft toothbrush designed for 3 months to 36 months of age. I found ours at Big Lots or Walmart but Amazon carries them as well. ( I linked to one similar but not exactly using our affiliate link as a reference.)
