Straight Teeth

One of the highlights of our short and stressful summer was the 8 hour round-trip journey to the Orthodontist.
The boy's treatment was almost done when we moved. Almost.
So instead of finding a new Orthodontist in our new town and paying those "new patient fees" all over again....
We decided to drive back to his Orthodontist while we were living with my parents. Crazy? Maybe. But the gas and frustration was still less costly than finding a new Orthodontist.

So.... My mom went with us, and we drove 4 hours to the appointment.
The very kind and patient staff at the Orthodontist's office knew our dilemma, so they worked late that afternoon to give us this...

A very happy braces-free boy.



The first stop we made on the way home was Walgreens... where we purchased Gummi Bears, Milk Duds, and Sugar Babies. He ate them all the way home.

Getting him to smile for the camera isn't quite the battle it was before.




Now if you will all join me in prayer that we don't lose the retainers.
