It was like yesterday ... when she first encounter her 1st experience with 'teething' ... 'ouch' ouch'. Luckily, she did NOT faced with any of those mythical perut sakit, 'lau sai' experience nor neither gums & gigi sakit. LUCKY her! after these three pieces of toothbrush for keepsake, i kinda lost count on the rest after since we change it almost every other month when she started 'chewing' on it ... yeah 'chewing' instead of brushing ....
WOW ... the journey to get her started ... sheer determination task!
Got up EVERY morning (when she was around 1 with less than 10 pcs of gigi)
REMIND her to brush her teeth,
Carry her to the bathroom basin,
Got her a cup of warm water & toothpaste ready on her favourite toothbrush (either POOH, or POOH & Friends ... well, those are the only ones you can get for her age in pharmacy n EVERYWHERE ... how frustrating ... the other nice & cooler one are always for the older kids age Four & above)
Me: Ok, Kiersten GARGLE your mouth GRRRRRR.... , SPIT out, don't forget or else the germ swill go into your stomach (yeah ALL the common white lies mum will use :P)
Kiesrten: Did as told
Me: Ok, ready, we will brush the back & side teeth first.
Down left .. in, out, in, out,.... Down right .. in out, in, out... Up left .. in, out, in, out,.... Up Right .. in, out, in, out,....
Front, EEeee, side-to-side, side-to-side
(With ALL that coaxing, i will also have to entertain with the 'tune' of 'This is the way we brushhhh our teeth..., brushhhh our teeth..., brushhhh our teeth..., this is the way we brushhhh our teeth..., earlyyyy in the morrrrning'!)
Me: Yeah! we are done, let mummy see are there anymore yellow, yellow teeth
Kiersten: EEeee... (for mummy to check)
Whoosh ... another task done for the day!
