Glasses and Braces

Well, my baby girl is following in her mothers footsteps. I just hope (I know) she wont endure the ridicule I did as a brace-faced, four-eyed child. She is much cuter, and way much more outgoing than I ever was! She is a social butterfly, and LOVES her glasses, and is excited for braces too. We will just make sure she never gets a really ugly haircut and all will be good. :)The glasses came yesterday, and boy does she ever look cute! That very same day, we went to the orthodontist for her first consultation, and he said for sure she would need braces, and sooner rather than later. She is on a two-phase plan, phase one starting on Monday. Whew! We are in for it! She has so many things wrong with her teeth and mouth, it's gonna take a long time to fix. But I at least can be comforted by the fact that she will be beautiful with a beautiful smile to go with it when it's all over! I feel her pain (pain that she has yet to feel) though, as I have been through the oral surgery, head-gear, braces phase of life and it wasn't all too fun for me. But I am glad I had them...had I not, I may look like a circus freak today. And so I am very grateful to my mother who insisted on the braces.

I hope Sabryna thanks me one day too. :)

Other than that our life has been pretty normal...well as normal as life can be with a new baby, new schedules, new jobs (hopefully soon!) and new glasses!

Daisy is starting pre-school on Monday, and is so excited about it! I am having mixed feelings. I know it will be a welcome break and wonderful time alone with my new baby, but Daisy has been my baby for almost 4 years! Seriously...I think I might have Daisy withdrawls when she goes. I will cry when she goes on the big yellow school bus (yes, she rides too) for the first time, and probably the second and third times too. She is such a cute little munchkin and she speaks so well, and is just so much fun to be around and cuddle with, it's just going to be a little hard to adapt. But she needs it, and I think as much as I don't want it, that I may need it too...but just for a little while. At least it's not all day right?

So...I guess this is my report for the day.

Oh, I did forget to mention that we pay for the boy scouts to put the flag in our yard on the holidays that require it. And they didn't today. I was disappointed. And sad. I'm just glad I had my own to put out, that I would have put out even if they did, but still...

God Bless America.
