Today, it was basically the same scenario, me brushing Henry's teeth, door open (forgotten by Henry, yes, I'm blaming him). Wyatt scrambled to the drawer, tried reaching his hand in and screamed his eardrum-breaking-scream (does anyone else have children that do this?) when he realized I was refusing to let him have it. I shooed him out of the room only for him to proceed to bang his head against the door until I picked him up, consoled him a tight bear hug until he was finally able to stop crying.
These are all signs of a 'baby crack' addiction, right?
(oh yeah, I'm totally an enabler as I had to give him the toothpaste for pictures for this post. Second thought, maybe this is a sign of my own addiction to blogging. Addiction runs in the family, I guess.)

Yep, mine does the same thing. Forget actually brushing the teeth, just suck the toothpaste, that's good enough. Around here we refer to Hyland's Teething Tablets as baby crack. Same effect...well...sort of.
Why is it that kids LOVE to eat toothpaste. I truly do not get it.
Ours suck the toothpaste off of the toothbrush before we can brush them. I am thinking I need to start buying baby toothpaste if it truly is that good! :)
honey you crack me up!!
i love, love, love that you gave him the crack to actually get the photos!! totally something i would do :)
Just fill it with applesauce! Ha!
Thanks for your comment, I know that thing is LO-ong.
We all have our addictions, right? Blogging, toothpaste, whatever floats our boat! I like good n crazy's idea to fill it with applesauce. I wonder what the reaction would be to that? Funny!
There's definitely something in that toothepaste. At four, my daughter still tries to sneak the bottle out of the drawer.
It takes really good, though.
Hahaha! I so would've given him it just to get great pics for my blog too.
Hey, there are worse things for him to be addicited to.
I'll have to buy some now just to see.
so is graycen!! she sucks it off of her toothbrush as soon as i give it to her and then asks for more "tase-taste"
"Oh yeah", to the head-banging and the toothpaste! In fact, just about anything bathroom related he loves....toiletpaper, showergel(he sucks on the lid), soap(he actually eats it).
Ha! That is so funny!! Isabella loves her baby crack. I mean training toothpaste :)
And I laughed even harder when you wrote that you were an enabler just to get that photo op!! Seriously, I am still cracking up over here!
Oh see that's what chaps my hide! Have you ever seen Intervention? It's always the parents enabling the habit, tiss, tiss, tiss.
*Why haven't I added you to my blogroll? Oh yes, because you're my arch nemesis! I'll add you anyway.
OMG!! Hilarious! My little man has never gone in for more toothpaste...maybe yours tastes better!
So yummy. Don't you agree? Yummy. Really, it is.
my daughter used to eat her toothpaste. The bonus to this is that she is now 3 1/2 and loves to brush her teeth. haha.
You should buy that Tom's All Natural licorice stuff. That should clear up his addiction right quick. (:
wow this sounds familiar. mine likes to eat butt paste. go figure. what does that say about mine? I mena not like hoovering it but a finger's worth here and there when mom isnt looking. and oh the blood curdling screams when he is unlatched.
Thanks for the bird! It is rare I merit a good virtual finger flick.
I love how your kid's cheeks are sunk in from sucking so hard!
My girl has an ear-piercing scream, but my sister's boyfriend's son has exactly the kind of eardrum destroying scream you described. My crazy aunt says it means he'll be a good singer. She should know, she pushed all her kids into showbiz!
YES!!! That is my son... He loves that stuff. Loves it. It is so gross, he sucks it out of the tube just the same way.
I caught my 4 year old doing the same thing last month. Had to hide it in a kitchen cupboard! Some people's kids, eh? LOL! Blessings, Whitney
That is too funny. My 2 year old loves her toothpaste, too, but we only put it on the toothbrush. I think she puts the toothbrush in her mouth long enough to suck the paste off.
Have you tried the stuff? It's really not that good!!
OMG, I can't stop laughing!!!! My 18 month old is definitely a baby crackhead then!!!! ha ha ha ha!!!
I've found him hiding in the closet with the baby toothpaste!!!
My Spanky does this too--and you are right. Total baby crack :)
That is hilarious - I can just pic ture that scene in your house. LOL. :)
