Today was the day - Kelsea had braces put on this morning at 9:00. She was so excited to get them on! I haven't seen a smile so big! She had braces 3 years ago, to correct for a crossbite, and now this round is for the straightening/alignment/blah/blah/blah...basically it's for no more vacations for mom for the next two years! At any rate, she was a "model patient" as the orthodontist stated at the end of the appointment. In fact, when we arrived home tonight from Kolton's soccer footskills class, there was a message on the answering machine from Dr. Spieske inquiring about how Kelsea was doing and reiterating his statement of how well she handled the procedure this morning. I thought that was so cool that he called! He really is such a nice guy!
She was off to school after the appointment, and has only complained of some mild pain - nothing too bad. She's eating just like normal, and is bummed she has to watch the amount of juice she drinks. She loves juice, but orthodontists don't like sugar! She's got a package of stuff to bring to school - toothpaste, toothbrush, floss - to take care of her teeth after lunch...we'll see how long she's faithful with that, right?
At any rate, she sure looks cute with braces! Take a look...
Before heading in...
She could barely contain her excitement!
Look at that big smile - this is one happy girl!
