New Toothbrush

We bought Asher an electric toothbrush. Even though he loves to "brush" his teeth, it mainly consists of sucking the toothpaste off of the brush and just holding it in his mouth. Whenever we try to help him brush he screams bloody murder. We tried demonstrating what he was supposed to do, but it had little effect. We figure that with an electric toothbrush at least some brushing will take place, even if he is just holding the brush in his mouth.

He likes it.

And much to Deenesh's "delight" he's a good sharer.


"Mama - I like sticking things in people's mouth and watching them squirm. Maybe I'll be a dentist like my grandpa!"

Happy Birthday Doran!

As the Wonder Pets would say "Team-Wowk!"

"Okay kid, I'll knock it down and then you use those opposable thumbs to open it up and get the treats out"

Comfortable Resting Position?

What's in a name?

Things that rhyme with Asher.

Basher
Dasher
Smasher
Masher
Crasher
Thrasher
Scratcher

So far he’s lived up to all of them (we blame the excema on the last one).

I guess we should have considered that before we named him.

Future concern – Flasher. Hasher. Yikes.

If we have a girl in the future remind me not to name her Daisy.

Happy Dental Hygiene Month!

Asher is celebrating by bringing in 3 new teeth. That will bring him up to a total of 12. What are you doing to celebrate?

Tukish Festival

Hanging out at the Turkish Cultural Festival. Don't we look happy?

But do you see that plate of food Deenesh is holding?

That delicious Turkish food?

And see that little handsome boy standing next to him?

About 20 seconds after this picture was taken, that handsome boy knocked that delicious plate of food on the ground. On the dirty steps of the DC streets. Where thousands of people had been tramping all day.

A little dance to celebrate our 200th post

Pho is still Asher's favorite food
