My Cherub's Den

Though Scared, He’s a Good Boy

Lynndee — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 23:01:23 +0000

I have made another appointment with my son Yogi’s dentist today. I did talk about here previously about not having his molar pulled out two weeks ago because he was already crying when the dentist was about to pull it out. I do hope he’ll be a good boy today. I’ve already talked to him heart to heart and face to face and he’s promised to be obedient this time even without being bribed with the dentist’s promotional items. The doctor gave him a personalized toothbrush previously just so he would comply but it didn’t do any good at all.

He was complaining of a little toothache last night which prompted me to ask him if he wanted to get it pulled today. He said yes. The ache must have been really bothering him to have thought of finally being brave and getting it done and over with. It remains to be seen though if the extraction will be successful today. I will let you know. (“,)

Hope He’ll Be Courageous Enough

To visit his dentist soon, that is. I’m talking about my son whom after having everything ready for the tooth extraction, changed his mind all of a sudden. His dentist couldn’t force him to do something that he’s not ready to do. We had to give in and just wait until he’s courageous enough to do it.

I asked him a lot of times already when we’re going to have his tooth pulled, and he would just answer…”next year!” LOL. I know he was kidding. He already said yes to me last week though that we’ll have it this Saturday but I think he changed his mind again. I just hope he won’t have toothache again or suffer from swelling gums. If it will happen again, I told him that that would be the last and whether he likes it or not, we’ll go to the dentist and have the tooth extracted. If he won’t comply, then he’ll get a spank from mommy. (“,)

Mommy and Son Bonding Time

Lynndee — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:00:31 +0000

The little one’s weekend was spent playing on the computer during daytime and watching TV and doing his school assignments during the evening. His cousins who are his usual playmates didn’t spend their weekend here with us so he had nobody to play with. Therefore, I couldn’t complain about him using the computer and watching the TV, so I just let him enjoy himself and fill his time.

I was busy reading about lipozene reviews, anyway, so no problem. At least he wasn’t bugging me. He used the other PC and enjoyed himself while I used the other PC while keeping myself busy, the two of us doing our own thing yet spending time together. This is how we spend many of our weekends, more often than not, and it works for us, and we don’t get bored with each other. (“,)

It Does Happen, But Not to My Son, I Hope

My 11-year-old niece, Wegee, was here earlier and I noticed a pimple on her left cheek. That was the first time she’s ever had and I kidded her that maybe she’s already in love and that’s why she got a pimple. Her being a jolly one who doesn’t take her aunt too seriously, she just gave me a wide grin.

I do hope my son won’t get pimples when he reaches his teenage years. I know many teenagers are not spared but, still, there are some who just get lucky and I hope my son will be among them. But if ever he will not be spared, then I will find the best acne treatment to come to his rescue.

My Li’l Boy was Scared, But…

…he needs to grow up and get tough because our visit to his dentist yesterday was a little annoying; the work to be done was only halfway accomplished due to his fear. Let me tell you the story.

The plan was to have two of his molars filled and one molar extracted because that’s what the dentist advised us during his check up last week when he was suffering from a toothache and gum swelling. Yogi was a good boy from the start of the tooth filling. The dentist was all praise for him for being a good boy and had given him a new toothbrush as a prize.

But when the time that the dentist was going to pull out the tooth – the extraction forceps already holding the tooth, Yogi pushed her hand away and started crying while covering his face. It went on like that for about 10 minutes, and during that time we kept on wooing him and offering him all the bribes we could think of including a Royal Caribbean trip, a Disneyland trip, a trip to the toy store, etc. But unfortunately, he didn’t buy it. So, we had to surrender because there was nothing at all we could do.

Oh well! Yogi was not a good boy today. I just hope he’s not going to whine when his tooth will ache again or I’ll surely take dad to the dentist with us so Yogi will comply. He’s kind of scared of his grandfather and always obeys him. (“,)

Boys Will Be Boys

I was busy arranging the office furniture in our home office around mid-morning yesterday when I received a call from Yogi’s teacher informing me that the school bus would not be of service the entire day because it broke down. Hearing that from her, I know I would be preparing myself after we talked because I needed to take Yogi to school. It was around 10 o’clock when she called and Yogi’s classes begin at 12 noon.

I hurriedly finished with the rearrangement that I was making in the office then I prepared Yogi for school and then got myself ready. We were both good to go by 11 o’clock and we left 10 minutes after that. I didn’t want to take the little one too early because he’d play before school started and would be dirty and sweaty when classes began at noon.

I fetched him at 5 o’clock, and just in time, too, before he’d already spent too much time playing with his classmates and friends; I wanted him clean when we got home to sit down to dinner. (“,)

A Mother’s Love and Concern

Lynndee — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:08:40 +0000

For me, the most difficult thing that a mom has to go through is when her kid is sick. So difficult that you wish you were the one sick and not your child. Though at the age of seven my son can already say what pains him or if he’s not feeling well, it still worries me a lot. He’s not sick now but one problem that I can’t seem to get any solution to is his weight. I’ve given him all the kinds of vitamins that I can think of but it seems to not be doing anything. He’s not gaining any weight at all and sometimes loses a pound or two. Even his doctor is worried about his weight loss.

He lost weight two months ago and though he hasn’t lost any more weight since then, he hasn’t gained any of it back. Maybe you have suggestions or recommendations to share with me to help him gain weight. I’d certainly appreciate it. (“,)

A Woman’s Dream: Sales!

Lynndee — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 23:08:13 +0000

Us women do love shopping but being the thrifty me, I don’t shop ‘til I drop. I only spend what I can afford. And one thing that I always keep an eye on are the “sales” at the mall. Huge discounts are usually offered for many items so it’s really a great time to shop. But unfortunately, I missed the sale last month. I had other priorities to attend to and even though my feet felt itchy to go to the mall; I had no choice but to stop myself. LOL.

There are times that the sale is only for selected items but the one that I missed was a big one since not only the department stores had sales but also the boutiques in the stalls. Darn! There were awesome tops, branded bags, branded shoes and even hgh for sale. Mom got herself a nice bag. Well, it’s not the last sale there’ll ever be. I just hope the next time they throw a big sale like that, my pocket are full of extra moolah and I’m free to shop, shop, and SHOP! Wishy wish wish!

My Poor Li’l Boy

The little one was suffering from a toothache since Sunday but it was only yesterday that we got the chance to visit his dentist. He only complained of pain in his tooth Sunday night and nada after that. His gums were swelling and I thought it would subside after one or two days, but when it didn’t, I decided to take him to the dentist.

The tooth could not be pulled because of an infection. He was prescribed antibiotics. I thought I heard the doctor saying the best hgh supplements but nah! I guess I was just hearing things. LOL. Anyway, we will go back see his dentist again next Saturday to have the tooth extracted.

Suffering from A Toothache

Lynndee — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 09:34:48 +0000

That’s what the little one has been going through since yesterday. And because of that, he wasn’t able to attend classes today. His gums were swelling and he was crying since last night. I didn’t bring him to the dentist because I know the doctor will just give him meds for the swelling. She won’t extract the tooth because it’s aching.

I let my mom bought a pain reliever for him but he said the pain has subsided a little bit so he didn’t take meds yet. Maybe he’d ask if the pain is not tolerable anymore. Remains to be seen though.
