So our sweet Alissa doesn't really love to brush her teeth. She will go back into the bathroom and "say" she did it, but then I catch her with food in her teeth all the time and call her bluff. I think I may need to go back to WATCHING her do it and helping with flossing. I guess I just think that an 8 yr old should be responsible for brushing teeth, but I also know it's easier not to do it for an 8 yr old with "better stuff to do". Last night after she read to me, I noticed some nasty food in her teeth and asked if she brushed (which she should have done when we asked her to do it) and I told her that she HADN'T brushed or else there wouldn't be food stuck in her teeth and had to prove it to her by taking a before and after picture!
On another note...look at those big girl teeth! It wasn't that long ago that her little smile contained all baby teeth!
