Brushing teeth

We started brushing Aryan's teeth with our fingers when he was around twelve months. Now that he has around 18 teeths (5 at the front and 2 on each sides and other 9 on lower jaws) it was high time that he switch to toothbrush. Last month, I bought a colourful toothbrush but the challenge was how to teach him.
Next morning, I washed his face and inserted the toothbrush in his mouth but he turned his head. I holded him strongly but just managed to brush his front teeth. I found that he was very eager to hold the brush himself. so I gave him the brush and I started brushing my gold plated teeth :-( and seeing that Aryan started brushing his silver plated teeth. Well, to start with it was not exactly brushing but it was more of chewing the brush.
Now everyday we brush our teeth together with a difference that Aryan chews his brush and plays with it for atleast 15 minutes. It's just 3 weeks and I can find the soft brush bristles getting hard and poiting to all directions. Will have to get a new one.
The challenge remains as how to flush the water from his mouth.
