Braces-Take Two

Well, Big Girl had a follow-up orthodontist visit today and she was given a surprise gift...shiny new braces!  Dad had come along for the ride and let me tell you he was excited about his gift, too...a shiny new bill for braces. She had braces for about a year back when she was 8 and seems as though she needed a phase 2 as she has some teeth that are stuck and need some help coming down.

She took the surprise in good-natured stride as she is such an easy-going kid.  Not too excited that she can't have gum or popcorn for a year but at least she can still have chocolate!
