Emma is all ready to go to Alyssa's appointment in her new dress.
Alyssa's school picture
Alyssa is a
beautiful girl who just happened to inherit her mother's narrow mouth. She has been moving her lower jaw over to the left in order to be able to chew (very visible in her school picture) so we decided that, even though she is only 7, we needed to go ahead and get started with the orthodontia. She has been very excited about this and has asked constantly when she would be getting the palate expander. It has taken a full month with 4 separate appointments but yesterday was the big day. She got the expander and a few braces to help guide the teeth into place. She did very well! The office staff were amazed at how well she handled the long 1 1/2 hour appointment. She is anxious to take good care of her teeth and wants to make sure she eats all the right things and none of the wrong ones. She has not been very sore so far. The scrape she got on her knee on Wednesday while running to the bus stop has bothered her more. Emma did amazingly well too. She liked being able to go out in her new dress. (The hot pink tights were her idea!)

Alyssa wanted it? That's impressive. I remember dreading mine.
