Snaggle Tooth Smile



Alaina really bounced back from her surgery quite well. She stayed home from school on Tuesday, but went back on Wed and was fine the rest of the week. She is just about back to eating anything - she was sore for several days and just ate soft things, lots of soup and noodles; which according to Alaina, is a good thing!

Tuesday afternoon, the doorbell rang! Standing there was a man holding a teddy bear with 7 balloons tied to his neck. Ally and Alaina were both so excited. I signed for them and told Alaina they were for her from Aunt E and Uncle Paul (fondly known as Umpah Caugh). She was beyond excited. She asked me so many questions (as she tends to do). "Mommy, I didn't know there was a man that was a balloon man." "Why the balloon man not come to our house everyday?" "How did Aunt E get the balloons to the Balloon Man?" etc... This totally made her day!

So, she now is a snaggle toothed kindergartener! I am so excited that she will be snaggeled for her school picture!! How cute will that be in the yearbook?

We know what you've been through! Garrett had a tooth in his cleft pulled and one steel crown with a few cavities. Gracie had a root canal and some other work. They brush their teeth well now, it was just early decay.
Great to see eveyone is doing well!
