No More Metal Mouth!!

Anna Grace was not supposed to get her braces off until early January, but I rescheduled her appointment for the middle of December and didn't tell her!  I was planning on telling her after we took Walker to school that morning, but ended up telling her the night before.  I knew she would be surprised and excited, but I didn't expected her to be nervous!  She worried all night that it was going to hurt!  She finally a friend who had recently gotten her braces off and was reassured that it was not painful!  Bless her heart...AG just doesn't do well with the unknown!   

 Thankfully, it didn't hurt!  She was really surprised by how big her teeth looked without braces!  They also left some room for more permanent teeth to come in.  Next set of braces to come in 18 months! But for now she'll enjoy gum, caramels, popcorn and all the other foods she wasn't supposed to eat for the past year!
