No food after you brush your teeth

now this is a 28 months old SLKJ.



this afternoon he got cranky, asked me to bathe so that we can go out. he ended up sleeping in his father's arms.

these days,
if it is me tucking him into bed, he would want to be nursed.
if it is his father, he would request for the father to walk fast fast.

the father would need to walk around the house, carrying him in the above position until he falls asleep.

children are just cute, aren't they?

for the past few months, he hasn't been waking up regularly for midnight feeds. once in a while, if he wakes up and asks for milk, i'll give him my breast.

as for my breastfeeding journey, it is coming to an end, albeit slowly. the breasts have shrunk, either to its original size or smaller? haha.

i am not completely ready to give it all up yet. hence, whenever he wants my milk, i'll give.

i have long kept my electric Aveda breast pump into its box.

as for his teeth, we have missed the previous dental appointment with Dr. Yani hence the next one will be on the 12th . when we last saw her, she told us that she has managed to book a spot for KJ to do filling under anesthesia. i could accept it until she shared something that caught my throat. she said if its her own child, she wouldn't want her child to go through anesthesia. gasp! how?
given a chance i wouldnt want KJ to go through unnecessary medical-stress, mostly in my part.

few months back we make it a point to brush his teeth every night before bed. we can't be lazy/irresponsible and bank on babysitter to do it.
i think she only brushes the crown, that was what i observed a year ago. i would sometimes randomly go to her house and watch how she does certain things. :p
i am not spying, i merely want to observe and sometimes learn. anyhow, she is a veteran.

we have also been using adult's Darlie on KJ.

well, few days ago, hubs announced that we should not give KJ milk after he has brushed his teeth.

i am now thinking if we can maintain the condition of his teeth and we religiously bring him for dental check-up until he is ready to go though the procedure without NS. possible? the dentist said 4 years old. will a 4 - year-old kid be willing to be seated on a chair and opens his mouth wide for a period of time?
