Got Braces?

It looks like we are entering a new stage in child development. . .the blissful world of braces. Today we took Meg and Ben for a check up with Dr. Will Engilman (we were in the 3rd Ward with him for years, and he also is Jeff and Melissa's brother-in-law). Ben still has a year or so before any work needs to be done (small mouth . . .lots of teeth--so it's coming). Meg only needs to lose four more top teeth and and one bottom tooth, and all of her baby teeth will be out. She's at a crucial point--when one of these four top teeth get loose, we need to take her back to Dr. Will to get spacers put in. She's ecstatic (why? I don't know). I on the other hand am wondering how to work orthodontics into our budget for the next 12 years. In fact, when one assistant saw ALL of us leave she said, "I guess we'll be getting to know your family really well."

As you can see, we love the t-shirts!

From Dad, We've read this every night and really enjoy the stories. I read the funnies, there was one where the character wrote about her kids and I immediatley thought of this blog.

I love the shirts too! So funny. We too will be getting to now an orthodontist quite personally in the next few years. I dread the thought, but years of thumb sucking has done it's damage and we will soon have to pay the piper!

Glad Meg is excited. Trey had a spacer put in over Christmas. Tell her they didn't hurt him a bit!
