You've got to be kidding me...

Orthodontia is supposed to be reserved for puberty-ridden middle schoolers. Even adults.

But, while we've long been told that little Gracie will most definitely need braces (and, yes, we've already started saving for that--kind of [as long as we don't need a new car in the next ten years] :)), we were always told that Grant's mouth, being so large, would probably be able to bypass those nasty braces.

But, while that is still true, no one mentioned (until yesterday) that Grant has a life long (started day 1) swallow reflex that leads to incorrect swallowing... that leads to him pushing out his front teeth (potentially forever) with his tongue. Needless to say, we are seeing an orthodontist this afternoon. So, while he might not need braces, he might need a plate placed in the top of his mouth. Poor guy!

I just didn't think we'd have to cross this bridge for at least 10 more years!!

We promise more regular posts, even heading in to the holidays. Thanks for your patience in the season of blog slow down, but we're gearing back up to make 2012 (and the last few weeks of 2011) the best blog season yet!
