Today Lara finally went to the dentist.  Had to have 3 teeth uprooted. I was the one nervous since I have this sheer terror when it comes to dentists.  You see when I was growing up,  the technology then wasn’t as sophisticated as it is now. Mere tooth filling was agony.  Now,  it’s a breeze. The kicks like drill with spurting water is here, anesthesia is used with the simple task of tooth filling whereas before,  you have to bear with the constant touching of drill to toothnerve.  Waaah!! I don’t even want to remember.

Lara was funny as usual.  When the dentist was applying the topical anesthesia,  she was laughing. It tickles daw according to her.  Then the time for the injection came.  The dentist told her it was going to hurt like an antbite. Told her to close her eyes and wait for the antbite.  She complained like hell yes. She said yes indeed it seems like an antbite.  But bitten by an ant as big as a car.  hahaha!!! Funny no?  But anyway after the ordeal was over I brought her to Robert’s Supermart and let her get as many popsicles she wants. Sucking on something cold does stop the bleeding.

That night,  she placed one tooth under her pillow.  I asked her why she only put one tooth.  This was her answer, she’ll only put one tooth at a time because maybe the tooth fairy doesn’t have so much money for three teeth, so she’ll only put one tooth at a time. It was funny because I do think she has an inkling who the tooth fairy was.  And at that time I was really short on cash. 

Anyway,  I guess that’s it for now. For all the mothers out there.  I’m telling you,  they know or at least they suspect. Kids today are more observant.  They know who santa claus is, toothfairy etc etc.  Personally i don’t believe in all that crap as well but being able to instill good memories to your children as they are growing up is actually what parents live for day by day.  Of course we also have to watch ourself as not to spoil them.  Spoilt children don’t have a chance to survive in this world. A parents duty is to instill all the good qualities children need to survive when we parents are gone. They would have to learn to stand and survive on their own.  So most of the times, lessons have to be taught with an iron hand. Love and disciplining should go hand in hand like the two wings of a bird. A bird can’t fly with just one wing. So both have to be strong. Love and discipline for one’s child is a must. Right now, I made a new set of rules for this schoolyear. No tv on weekdays. I used to let them watch an hour of tv as long as they have finished their homework.  But now it’s going to be different. Sorry kids.  No tv on weekdays this time.

Anyway friends.  I hope you enjoyed by entry today.  I would constantly try to keep you posted on whats happening to me.  Corinne, look at my newly posted pix.  I know malulungkot ka na naman jan.  Always remember,  you are constantly being missed here.  Hope you can visit us sooner than planned.  Or pwede rin ako bibisita sa yo jan pero pamasahian mo akohhh!! hehehe joke lang.  We you and miss you terribly.
