It's official! Kid #2 now has braces . . .
If you can't tell . . . yes, those are baby blue and baby pink bands she has AND the brackets are in the shape of hearts. You heard me right, hearts!
I can't even begin to tell you how envious I am of kids nowadays and all the different choices they have. Bands, colors, designer brackets, and the big one . . . NO HEADGEAR!
When we started this process, my daughter was really nervous, but once I explained to her what I had to go through (starting braces at 13, 2 1/2 years of wires & metal, and did I mention the headgear?).
The more I told her what I had to go through, the easier she felt and she got through yesterday like a champ! I was so proud of her!
Now, about my preschool . . .
Today Kid #3 got the rare opportunity of a playdate (most of his friends have working parents so these were scarce during the last school year and into the summer), so I picked his friend up at our old preschool where all three of my kids went.
As I was driving over there, I realized that 10 years ago last month, was when I registered Kid #1 there for school (at that time they were taking kids starting at 18 months, and he was 20 months). I walked in and both the director and office manager greeted all of us very warmly.
They marveled at the all the kids' growth and how old they were getting, then the director tells me, "It's amazing how much they've all grown, but you look the same!"
The office manager agreed, "You do! You look exactly the same!"
I don't blush, but I'm guessing I turned at least a slight shade of pink and thanked them.
Now all I can do is hope that when I go to my 20th HS reunion in October, they'll think the same thing.
But if they don't . . . oh well . . . at least my preschool ladies, who have seen me through some pretty tough times with all three kids, still think I still look 27.
I'll take it! :)
