Lest you break out into song, let me warn you that this is NOT an audio-related post nor is it a review of a recent Pinoy feel-good movie of the same name… ;)

What is it then, you may ask?

Well, being the “stage mom” that I am – especially when it comes to my kids’ milestones – let’s just say I wanted to let you in on the latest buzz about our precocious “diva-lette”…  And since I anticipate this to be quite a picture-heavy post, I’m doing you (especially those who, like me, find themselves on the “attention-deficit” side of the fence when reading lengthy posts – hahaha! :oops: ) the favor of posting it in two installments.

STAGE MOM MOMENT #1:  The Dental Visit

What better way to spend the first day of July than by having her very first trip to the dentist?  Let these pics tell you the story…

Upon arrival at the dental clinic, I could sense that she was feeling a bit “iffy” about the set-up (notice she was holding her Little Mermaid doll for comfort)… :lol:

Until she was led to the reclining dental chair where she “obediently” settled in…

…where she put on a brave front inspite of the obvious discomfort painted all over her tiny face!

In the end, though, her “courage” paid big time – apart from realizing she really had nothing to be scared about…

She (and her kuyas and ate cousin) even went home with small tokens from their gracious dentist – yey! :cool:

So what did my “mommy heart” learn from this seemingly routine experience of my kids? Many times, especially with “dreaded” medical procedures, I get worked up over the silliest things when there really is nothing to worry about! :oops:   Who knows?  A ”prize” might even await me at the end of it all, right? ;)

More “firsts” on my next post… stay tuned!
