Loving those dummy-getting-rid-of ideas

I find giving ds some warning of what we're doing avoids tantrums. I tell him 5 minutes, then two minutes, before bed time, bath time, before the tv goes off, before we leave the house, etc. He seems to cope with stopping his favorite actvities much better if he knows what's coming.

And I'm big on choices and natural consequences at the moment. "You can hold mummy's hand and walk, or sit in the pram and I'll push you". If he throws his balls out to the dog, then they're gone and they don't come back at all (awwww, I know- a bit mean!).

If anyone has any ideas for teeth brushing, I would love to hear them...
