Brace Yourself!

It was time. Quarter to 4 (because Townsends are always early ... we just roll like that). Time for braces. I won't say she went in kicking and screaming, but it wasn't exactly a day at Disney World either!

One last picture before heading in. Since she blinked on the first one I had to take another one ... I made the executive decision to NOT go into the little room with her and turn it into a full on photo shoot when she muttered under her breath, "EMBARRASSING!" Sometimes I am nice like that!
And, here we are at home with the braces. She has already organized all of her "braces supplies" in a little bag (that she brought with her ... she did it on the way home) ... so not like me!
You can't see it in the picture, but her rubber bands (which I have no idea what they are, but am a little embarrassed to admit to the orthodontist after last week's "spacer" question) are pink. She really wanted the yellow because they were sparkly ... fortunately we had told her a few days ago that yellow is not a good choice for rubber bands. But, they were sparkly!

We head out to Dallas in the morning to meet up with Melinda, Gretchen and Megan for a long girl's weekend ... should be fun!

Hey,
She has to wear the braces...you should let her pick the color. Yellow is not bad.
I can answer questions. All 3 of mine were in braces remember!
