Chris and I were up and out of the house by 9am. Today was the B. I. G. day! She got her braces on. They sure keep making improvements on orthodonture. She was done in an hour. Nice brackets cemented on the fronts of her teeth. Spacers on the molars. Black rubberbands on for now. They did a quick cleaning and then got right to work.
I sat there and was remembering 40 some years ago when I got my braces. Big old things that went all around your tooth and had to be hammered on, hammered off, cement applied, and then hammered back on again! So different now. She goes a week from today and gets all the wires on and the brackets for her molars.
We went and got a smoothie after and then home to get her books and some soft Hawaiian rolls for her to have at lunch time. Only very soft food for a couple of days they told us. What a trooper. She went to school the rest of the day and then to her violin lesson this afternoon. But she is in a lot of pain right now and so I made her some macaroni and cheese for dinner with some applesauce and an ice cream shake is on order for later tonight. Thank goodness for ibuprofen. She won't let me take a picture today. Maybe in a couple of days when she's feeling better.
It was really warm today--80*. Too warm for March, but OH! was it ever pretty. Went to lunch and had Thai food for a friend's birthday. I had never had it before. It was pretty good.

Chrissy we are so proud of you for going thru this getting your braces on. We know what your mom went through 40 years ago with her braces. She was a real trooper when she went through this. Hang in there honey. We love you.
