Yes I have been lazy. There have been so many activities but I didn't get down to blogging about them. But I should write about Chloe's root canal since I have been documenting her dental journey.
She started complaining about pain during meal time so we took her to the dentist. There was an infection on her previous filling and she had pus. She did tell me that the round gum is in pain and not the flat gum. But I didn't open her mouth big enough to see the round gum with pus. So the dentist prescribed antibiotics. My little girl has grown up and no longer fear medicine so she diligently finished the bottle. A week later we went back to the dentist to clean up her decay. She felt pain and the dentist had to numb her. Surprisingly she survived the ant bites even mummy is afraid of. There was a lot of red water (the words that the dentist used to describe blood). Very bad decay and the doctor took some time to clean up. Chloe wowed me and pulled through the pretty long ordeal. More antibiotics. Another week passed and we went back to the dentist for permanent filling. She made noise and nearly cried due to the discomfort but she made it to the end of her root canal which burnt a hole in mummy's pocket. It cost $321. The price to pay for succumbing to their cries for milk during sleep. Kayley joined us for the visits although she was at the reception and not in the treatment room. The nurse recommended she stay out. After the dental visits, mummy gave a firm chat about no more milk during sleep and they should start brushing their teeth in the morning (they used to brush only at lunch time and bedtime). Aww my girls are all grown up and they understand mummy's nagging and no more milk during sleep. Now mummy can sleep through and not drag her feet to the kitchen to make milk. Money worth it! Photos taken during the last visit. See Chloe's traumatised face and also her happy face when the doctor rewards her bravery with sculpted balloons.
