Maya finally loft her firft toof! How exciting! Only a short while later she loft her second toof so she is missing her 2 front (bottom) teef right now! (actually her speech has not been too badly impaired by this)
Colter has been developing an (underbite?) in his mouth. Basically his 2 front bottom teeth have grown out in front of the top 2. We are already starting orthodontic work to help correct it. He was quite excited the other day to get a retainer! Thank goodness it will be through the summer and we can help keep track of his $550 dollar little plastic/wire/rubberband contraption. If there are any orthodontists reading this, please don't be offended- I know there is quite an art to making these things...Kyla is beginning to grow into her teeth and they are starting to straighten out. She's also been losing Molars (OUCH!) Hopefully she won't need any correction much to her disappointment. The other day she said to Colter that he was so lucky to have a retainer and he told her right back that she was lucky to have glasses. Go figure...
Trying to keep it all straight,

Oh that's funny! Well I guess that made me doubly lucky to have both glasses and retainers/braces when I was a kid! Although I well remember turning 16 and getting contacts and losing the braces. Now that was a year to celebrate(:
I always secretly wanted glasses and braces when I was little. I also wanted to break my leg so I could have a cast. Thankfully, I didn't get everything I wanted. I did end up with the glasses and braces though. Then I started re-thinking my luck.
Yes, isn't it funny what kids and we as kids thought was/is neat! I too ended up with braces and glasses. Of course no more braces but too bad I couldn't get rid of the contacts also.
Luck is flowing around your farm. I was always jealous of the kids sporting such enviable accessories as glasses and braces, too.
Isn't it funny that kids envy those with glasses and braces? I did the same until I had them. Of course, wearing head gear in junior high is not so glamorous. And I couldn't wait to get contacts. Thank goodness for lasik eye surgery! Maya's tooflessness is pretty cute! :)
dear Toof~hurt~y,
Actually, the pocketbook hurts more than the teef in this case eh?
love,
