BRACES

The YM/YW had an auction to raise money for girls camp and for scouting supplies. Their auctioned proved to be very profitable! There were tons of good things to be had an then we had a live auction and that is where the real fun began! Our family walked out of there with loads of fun dinners and prizes.
An excellent orthodonist and cosmetic dentist offered full orthodonics from start to finish! The Mr. and I jumped on that, we won it too! WOOHOO!!! Yes, it will be pennies for us!


Sweetheart has nicknamed our dentist Doc Hollywood! I like it. Along with braces she needed a tongue dispencer in there as well. This aparatus will prevent her tongue from pushing on her teeth. She has trained her tongue to do this while she sleeps. This has left her to speak with a lisp! She has been practicing daily speaking out loud and reciting the tongue twister.
"Sally sells seashells by the seashore while sipping seltzer water! LOL
It has been quite comical around here listening to her speak and especially saying, MOISTURIZER! I love her and she has taken it all in fun! I wish I could have loaded the video here. But, I don't know how and its on Facebook if you have that.

It has left her mouth swollen and sensitive and she has been eating soft foods!

What a blessing!!! Sweetheart looks fabulous... we are having our own fun with speech in our house right now... we're trying to get Bubba to say his Ks and Gs. Right now he says his Ks like Ts and Gs like Ds. He's slowly getting it and when he does I'm going to miss telling him to call his brother Ricardo, BWAHAHAHAHA!
