The dental check-up

Saturday

*Phew*, I'm finally able to sit down for a little break(and decided to do a quick blog update) before my shower.

Saw the Colgate roadshow @ Compass pt a few days ago and decided to bring Renee for their free dental checkup. I've told her and she said she would be ok during the check.

Even though she's slept very late last night, she had woken up at 8am+ this morning. Daddy was nice to buy an extra pack of the famous Nasi Lemak when he went to pick Eileen up from Kovan but I've already got my chicken pao steamed up, so he ate 2 packets hahaha.

We arrived at the roadshow @ close to 11am(from 10:30am to 8:30pm) and there were already a short que formed! After a short wait, we went in for the 'talks'... Renee made almost everyone laughed by nodding a "Yes" to the demonstrator's questions of "Do you have this in your teeth?"(when showing the model tooth with decay) and "Do you also have this in your teeth?"(model tooth with plague) and so far, our session is the only one that has laughter lolz... Besides this, here're her answers to the questions given to participating children whereby 'gifts' will be handed to them:

Demonstrator : "Are fruits good for your teeth?"

Renee : "Yes"

Demonstrator : "What's your name?"

Renee : "Renee..."

Demonstrator : "Are sweets good for your teeth?"
Renee : "No"(this was her turn to answer & press the 'button')

Demonstrator : "Do you eat sweets?"

Renee : "No" (ya right... she's just started eating yoghurt mentos which I've stopped giving her due to phlegm)

Demonstator : "Is cheese good for your teeth?"
Renee : "Yes! I eat cheese cubes" *laughter*

After this little demonstration/talk, we have to go thru a mini series of others before we get to have our teeth checked. Seeing the 'bed', she squirmed and decided not to participate anymore. So I've to ask her if I should go first or her and she said "Mommy first!"... But when I carried her onto the 'bed' after I'm done, she teared and no thanks to the Dentist, she offered to her "you let me check your teeth and later u can go have your Mcdonald's big breakfast, ok?" hahaha. However, that didn't do the job and Renee still wouldn't relent and my offer to bring her to the library wasn't good enough to entice her either. In the end, I offered to bring her for her cup of sweet corn and that's when she asked for french fries!!! Having no choice at that moment, I agreed but on the agreement that she'd have to drink alot of water. She behaved very well during the check - Well done!

After we've got our goodie bags, I told her that we'd have to rush home(as we'd be gg to grandma's house) after we've got our stuffs and her french fries. And at Kiddy Palace, I tried to trade a toy for the french fries but she was 'smart' enough to reject the toy she was holding hahaha. Then, in the elevator, she said : "ok, I want chicken wing". Hmmm, not a very good alternative, but what choice do I have? haiz... In the end, we ate at KFC(she insisted that we ate there. why? tastier there? lolz) and when we got home, she told me that she wanted to go to sleep already - she must be very tired, especially when she's had only 8-9hours of sleep..'cos by the time I checked on her after I've handled the foodstuffs(took longer today as I've asked for 1/2kgs of prawns), she was soundly asleep on her bed..... That save me the trouble of cooking her lunch :D
