Brace Face!

I was in disbelief last month when our dentist told us it was time to visit an orthodontist.  I thought surely we’d have a few years, at least.  Much to my surprise, McCanless is ready! (As always, milestones so early for her.)   She has lost nine baby teeth and has a mouth full of permanent teeth, so we were told it’s time.   She will most likely have to have two sets, no matter when she has them, so at least we’ll start this whole process early.  Mel nor I had braces, so this is all new to us.  She was a champ when she had her spacers placed, and has only complained once since having them on.  Nothing a little dose of Tylenol didn’t cure!  She is such a strong girl.  I’m so very proud of her.

I can’t believe how much older she looks.  I’m going to miss that McCanless gap.
