Shock!

Wow! All I can say is Wow! We took Tiny Dancer to the orthodontist in the beginning of March. I did not expect to walk out of there that day with 4 appointments and her getting braces within a month a half, but that is what happened.
Today I had the "parent consultation". They've taken x-ray's, models, measurements, and photos and have now developed "the plan". So, I sat there an listened for an hour this morning while they detailed out the problems she has, what they want to do to correct each of those problems, potential risks, and of course THE COST!
Wow, expensive little suckers. The bad news is that she needs to have 5 baby teeth removed soon. Two of them she could almost pull on her own, there is no root left. So, being the kind parent that I am...offered her $10 a tooth if she can get them out herself! That way I don't have to pay to have them removed! :) We'll see if she actually does that!
Our big journey starts next week. Thursday she gets spacers to make room for the bands on the back teeth. Then on Tuesday the 27th she gets the brackets put on. Luckily she doesn't need the teeth pulled prior to these appointments.
That's the excitement here today. I'm still on track with my Weight Watchers. Having fun doing Wii Fit!
Happy Thursday!
