My Conversation With Noah

Noah: Mom, I had to wash my hands when I brushed my teeth.

Me: Oh? Why is that?

Noah: Because I dropped my toothbrush in the toilet and had to get it out with my hand.

Me: What?! You didn't brush your teeth with that did you?

Noah: Yes, but I washed it with water first.

Me: Oh my God, please tell me you at least used soap with it.

Noah: I used soap and water.

Me: Go throw that toothbrush away now!

It took everything I had to keep calm. The germ-phobe in me was dying a thousand deaths. He was nonchalant about it, no big deal. This is the kid that will throw a fit if you accidentally put the wrong condiment on his sandwhich. I couldn't bring myself to kiss him on the lips at bedtime. I wish I had made him gargle with mouthwash or something. I overheard Drew asking him how he did that and I thought I heard Noah saying something about brushing his teeth while he peed. I pretended I didn't hear, that was too much for my faint heart.

***Potty Update*** Aiden peed in the potty THREE times this evening!!! I'm in total shock. We were all dancing around like a bunch of idiots cheering for him. If only someone had a video camera on us. I'm still not getting my hopes up, but damn, I'm impressed!

you know the mouth is the dirtiest place there is but I am sure the toliet ranks right up there, he will survive but will you because I am sure there will be many more incidents

I saw somewhere that the toilet has less germs than the average kitchen sponge. As long as the toilet was flushed....
