Braces OFF!

I'm sorry it took me three days to write about it, but on Monday, JR's braces finally came off! We knew as of our last appointment in December that this would be the end, and to say that he was excited is an understatement. He was literally counting down the days, and telling everyone he would see that Monday was the big day. We also had JC, HT, and my husband scheduled for dental cleanings and exams that afternoon. Because it is all in the same office and it's a half hour drive, I was thrilled by the gas we would be saving. However, by the end of the afternoon my patience had long since expired. We were there OVER THREE AND A HALF HOURS. No one should have to spend that much time in a small dental office waiting room. The kids did well for the most part though, and I must say, JR's teeth look really great. We treated the kids to Friendly's Ice Cream for dinner and dessert, and it was a great way to celebrate his braces coming off!
