I love this girl!!!
I really do…she is so sweet and loving!
She’s a real caretaker.
But, bless her heart. She takes after me in one way that I just pity her for.
She is completely uncoodinated.
Just a little less known fact about me….I failed skipping in Kindergarten. I even had after school tutoring.
Keith says I still can’t skip.
Anyway, at this point, poor EA can’t even run with any amount of coordination.
And our most recent battle in the brushing teeth arena is her inability to spit.
Try as I may, I am just at a loss as to how to teach her to do it either.
So, every time she brushes, she ends up with toothpaste and slober all over herself and the front of her clothes.
I’m actually considering getting a bib to wear.
The other night I had her pull a stool up to the sink and brush basically standing over it so that maybe it would be easier for her to rinse and spit….She tried and was really proud of herself for trying….but nothing comes out of her mouth and into the sink when she tries to spit.
I’m convinced it is a total coordination issue that she will eventually grow out of.
Surely, she will eventually learn to spit….surely.
And I can definitely think of bigger problems to have.

I bet her Daddy will be happy to teach her to spit!!

Have you tried having her practive in the tub? Our dentist suggested that. She said to line up several small cups with water in them, have the girls take a drink, then spit into the bath BEFORE you soap them up. You get all of the gross stuff off with the soap. S got it in no time, but we’re still working with M.

I am super uncoordinated as well – I have to be careful when I run b/c sometimes I lose my balance – doh! There are just some things in life that I am not cut out for LOL

I just saw this post at the bottom of a recent one under “You might also like”. I had to comment and say that M is SO uncoordinated too! You should see her run! She only recently learned to spit when brushing her teeth (yes, she will be SIX in December)! Before that it would just run down her chin…yuck! I am so curious how it is going with EA since you wrote this in May!
