Gavin gets braces

He was so excited to get braces.  The day before they called to remind us of the appoint-ment and afterwards he had to call all his grandma's and relay the news.  This is the before pic.

This was so hilarious.  Before the braces went on he kept sticking his tongue out.  What a comic.  He only has braces on the front four teeth.  He has such large spaces between his teeth that they want to make some room for his permanent teeth to come in.  He will have them for 10 months.

They also had to put this appliance in his mouth to correct his crossbite.  There is a little key that we have to put in a little hole and move it backward everyday.  It will push those teeth outward.  This is the part he hates.  He keeps saying I like the braces but I hate this thing in the top of my mouth.  Poor kids they get this from their mom.  I had an underbite, Makayla has one also and Chloe did have one but as I was talking to the Ortho yesterday he said she probably corrected it herself by sucking her thumb.  Lucky girl.

He'll have to watch it when he goes through the metal detectors.  He certainly has a mouth full of metal.  He really does not feel here how he looks.  Here's to you Metal Mouth!!!  :)

I had just bought Makayla and Chloe some playdough, so left them to play and went and sat down on the couch to read my book (which was totally STUPID and I only finished it to make sure they got together at the end.  Well who know's if they did.....I hate it when they leave a story unfinished.)  Anyways, I thought she was still up at the counter playing.  Well lo and behold she walks around the corner of the couch and I see this....

She had got into the Nesquick choco milk mix and as you can see was eating it from head to toe.  It was all over the pantry shelf and floor.  I was mad at first, but thought what a great photo that would be so I chilled and laughed.  Here she is in the bathtub with chocolate washing down the drain.  Thanks for the laugh Chloe!
