Fight with Paperclip

Today Ethan received an "appliance" to help reduce the thumb sucking situation we have dealt with for the past 11 years!

He sounds super funny when he talks.  We could not stop laughing.  Ethan LOVES the way he sounds.  He is a good sport.  Immediately following his appointment he was headed back to school to present an oral report.  I asked him if he was embarrassed and his reply was, "this is awesome!  I love this bad boy!"  He ended up with a 116/120 for his report.  Not too shabby!  He hopefully will have this removed in a month or two.

Spacers first, Braces second - for Ethan

Last week Ethan got spacers put on at the Orthodontist office.  Today he got braces.  Good times!  He picked UK blue for his color choice.  He looks great in his new metal!

Ethan & Ashton's Trip to the Dentist

Today I had the PLEASURE of taking the big boys to the dentist! Ethan has no cavaties and Ashton has 2 little teeny tiny cavaties. They were very good patients and Ethan said he can't wait until next year when he gets to go back.

Ryan's First Trip to the Dentist!

Today Ryan went to the dentist for the first time in his life. He was not very excited, but talking about going to the dentist in preschool earlier this month helped a lot. He was a perfect patient and . . . NO CAVATIES! Yeah!
