BRACE FACE


Ellie got braces yesterday! My baby is growing up. She (and I) think she looks like a short 5th grader- Which she thinks is awesome. They were really hurting her today, but shes being tough. She will have these on for 4-6 months with the hopes that she won't have to have braces later when all her perminant teeth come in. and if she does have to have them again, it won't have to be for as long. Although its only been about 34 hours, I think her teeth already look straighter!

She does look like a 5th grader! I hope she gets through the painful phase. Jon and I were just talking last night about how hard it was to eat after getting braces on! Her hair is so pretty too.

I saw her at the bus stop the other day--she is so adorable! I love the green bands too.
I will have to find out how they work so early--Taylor's dentist laughed when he saw her X-Rays of her top teeth. I guess they are huge and poised to come in wildly crooked.

Ellie..you look so grown-up.....it is hard to believe. I am glad you got to get braces so you can have pretty teeth. Your mom has beuatiful teeth and smile..and so will you. You hair looks so cute...love the side braid.
Hope they stop hurting and you get used to them.
