Goodbye to his feeding bottles

Yeah, quite too late for a 5 year old kid to say goodbye from his feeding bottles.
Big thanks to his tooth ache which made him understood that the milk that stays
overnight to his teeth is the culprit.

Its also a big relief for me - no more "Milk please Mama" in the middle of my
sweet dreams.

As of this writing, its been 4 nights that he is drinking milk in a glass.

Successfully survived his first tooth filling

It was last summer when Marty had his first consultation with a pedia-dentist.
Although nothing is aching yet, findings were a lot to be extracted and some
need to undergo filling. Unfortunately, due to his summer activities, his date with
a dentist was overlooked.

Last week was a pain struggle for my little boy.  He had his 1st pain when we
were dining out. 

Immediately after we brought him to a dentist and was advised to take anti-biotic

for a week due to gum-swelling.  He was also scheduled for tooth filling instead 

of extraction.  I also learned that if the tooth can still be remedied, its not advisable

to extract it so that when the permanent tooth comes out, it will have its guide 

to grow on its proper place. 

Just this Saturday, he had his first tooth filling. My son was so brave that he was

so cooperative during the entire procedure.  The dentist was also amazed with

him. I was the one who is nervous for my son. 

After an hour procedure, my Marty looked happy.  Also, he heard what the dentist

advised him on how to take care of his teeth so that he will not have anymore

toothache. Avoid sweets, cold drinks and stop drinking milk in a bottle. 

Surprisingly, he did not drink milk anymore in a bottle. Yehey, big thanks to his

toothache. I can now throw his bottles.

You? How do you prepare for the last quarter of the year?

A Widus Resort Get-Away (Aug. 27-28)

The Family spent the long weekend vacation @ Widus Resort, Clark
Freeport Zone.  After so many years, its nice to see Clark again with
all the luxury hotels and casinos everywhere.  Thanks to my brother
who treated us for this refreshing weekend get-away.

Widus offers stress-free and refreshing stay on their luxurious Hotel
Vida rooms, water park fun and enjoyment on its Widus Casino.

It has its Salt Coffee Shop and Restaurant if you don't anymore want
to go outside for lunch or dinner.  Plus a SPA service is also available.

The rooms we availed were the Junior Suite and Deluxe. The Junior Suite
is just so perfect to house 4 persons.  It has 1 king bed, 1 sofa bed with
a pull-out bed.  Cooking is not allowed but it has a mini-kitchen and
dining area too.  Room rate is PhP 9,890.  We also got Deluxe for
The Family for PhP 8,170.

 

This is the view of the water park from our room.

We really enjoyed the water park.  The pool is very clean, and the view
is just so perfect.  It has the Azul Sunken Bar in the middle of the pool
where you can order drinks.  It has a pool  for kids and slide for both
kids and adult. It is just so wide that you can go around like in a
lazy river.

Food is also great in the Salt Coffee and Restaurant. We tasted their
pizza and pasta + its banana split that my son enjoyed eating.

And what the oldies enjoyed is the Widus Casino's slot machines. 

Overall,  it was a two thumbs up stay in Widus.  How we love to return
to this place again.  I was thinking if we will avail of its Vida Circle
membership where you can get a free 1 night stay in Hotel Vida +
several discounted vouchers for hotel stay + SPA + dining on its
coffee shop and restaurant + a year free use of their swimming pool
and gym.
