I've had to constantly remind him that he needs to do a really good job at brushing his teeth. I just keep reminding him how pretty his teeth are going to be. Just wait until the 19th of January, when he gets HEADGEAR!

Brace Face
A couple of weeks before Christmas, Will got braces! He only got them on his four front teeth and top back molars. He's always had what we referred to as the "David Letterman space" between his two front teeth, and the teeth next to those came in completely sideways! He's only going to have to wear them for hopefully nine months. Then we'll wait until the rest of his permanent teeth are in to do the final phase. They really bothered him the first couple of days and now he's doing great. We even have a list of foods that he's not allowed to have posted on our fridge. He's been such a trooper about what he can't eat.

Ouch! Ouch!! That's all I can say. Good luck, Will.
Will looks awesome. I cannot wait to show Ashlyn this photo tomorrow. She is already asleep now. Like Will, she will also need to straighten out her front teeth with some braces; probably some time later this year. I hear Chelsea is starting some Ortho work in her mouth,too. What a fun age for all of them. Hope your 2009 started off great. Talk to you later. AH
weren't we just in braces? hmmm. time is going way too fast.
Oh, I love Will's David Letterman smile- I will miss it! He is too cute!
Headgear.....! I had the real head gear that went around your head (not neck). Not a pretty sight!
He is gonna be a handsome one when he is done with this phase. For now he can be your cute brace face. :)
