But when all was said and done she looked THIS beautiful!
She had one request that morning...to PLEAZZZZZE have one last Tootsie Roll. So I let her have two for breakfast! She enjoyed every bite.
Not only do they start ortho stuff earlier and earlier these days as compared to the "old days" or my old days but they have come so far. I STILL remember having that bright shiny evil key that turned and cranked my retainer every day to make room for my mouth full of teeth. So yesterday morning bright and early our girl got her first metal. She was very excited at first (aren't we all) and then after her first bouts of soreness and getting the list of all the forbidden foods and asking me in her knowing voice but yet still questioning "do I really have to sleep in these mom?" she wanted to reverse her morning. This is when I feel like she is still so young and I feel bad BUT I knew when I had babes that if their mouths were anything at all like their mama's genetics we would all be in for it.
First after braces meal request...none other than smoothies!
It's always special to have a moment when both Tim and I are there with just one of our kids!
A definite highlight for her was teaching Carter how to swish and spit salt water. This is his "spicy" face. Anytime anything is sour he calls it spicy. These two were giggling and spitting for awhile!
