Big Day... Big Girl...

Today was the day... Braces!

She was an excited girl this morning... had school all day and then we headed to the orthodontist.

She was excited and nervous and non stop talking all the way about what she heard from other people and what she thought it would be like.  Here we are first set on the bottom in...

Of course picking out the colors of the bands was the highlight of the day... she decided on teal and purple her new fav colors.

And here we are all done... and the first big smile after she checked it all out in the mirror.

She got stars on the top two front teeth...

We are still working on how to use them... smiling... eating... brushing... taking a drink from a cup etc.  I can't believe how big our almost 11 year old is looking... love her so!
