Hi friends!
So. We took our 5-year-old to the dentist. The dentist gave her oral hygiene a "Fair" rating (a B-minus, basically) and asked how we help her brush.
We said, proudly, that she's been doing it herself for about a year now.
Dentist: full panic. “NO NO NO. You need to do it for her until at least 7 or 8.”
…Seven or EIGHT?!
Anyway, I nodded like a responsible adult and mentally filed that under “Bedtime is already a hostage negotiation.” But now I’m curious where everyone else lands. Scroll to the bottom for today’s ‘Let’s Settle This.’
But first: The Weekend at a Glance
The Weather: ☀️ Sunny with Fog Patches (Fri–Sun). Blue skies, highs of 6°C, but expect some fog rolling in at times. Beautiful but cold — dipping to -2°C overnight.
