brushing with toothpaste

i have never trained ziyi to brush her teeth using toothpaste until recently when someone mentioned to me that she should be ready for brushing with toothpaste. can you imagine a 2 yr 11 months old child has not used toothpaste before? i am glad her teeth are not rotten yet!

to start with, i bought her an "edible toothpaste". First Teeth Baby Toothpaste from Guardian Pharmacy recently. this 40g tube of toothpaste cost me a whopping RM25.90, the most expensive toothpaste i've ever bought! 

ziyi hated it when she first used it and swallowed it down too! lucky this has no fluoride and safe to swallow. after a few tries, she finally mastered the skill to hold it in her mouth and gargle with water before spitting them out.

toys for ziyi

the popular Mattel warehouse sale was here last week. my friend tempted me again. we went to the crazy warehouse sale 2 years back when ziyi was just few months old and i spent close to a thousand on her toys alone. this year we went early, as early as 9.30am and waited at the entrance of Wisma Atria.

the crowd was not that bad but they were very aggressive. people just grabbed everything they could and then re-select what they want later. that's what we did too.

i was a bit more discipline this time, ended up with a gift for my nephew and a few Barbie dolls for ziyi. no more Fisherprice stuffs for her (that's what i bought mostly for her 2 years ago). the damage: RM190 only. phew...

new toys for baby ziyi

i bought few new toys for baby ziyi at mattel warehouse sales last month. the warehouse sales was at Wisma Atria, Damansara Jaya. i reached there at 10.10am on the first day of the sales and oh boy, the place was so crowded that i had to squeeze my way through. 

with the help of my friends, we managed to grab a few nice toys and they are mostly fisher-price's toys. 

i bought a total of 9 items and they cost me less than rm400, which i think is really cheap for toys of this brand. otherwise it'd have cost me almost double if purchased without any discounts/sales period. 

babies get bored with their toys real fast, so i'm not going to give her all the toys at one go. maybe 1 toy each month, and this will save me from buying her toys for the next 9 months..lol
