Braces

Yesterday my oldest baby got braces.

I have been enjoying these (2 so far) ortho appointments.  I pull Austin out of school and we always have to squeeze lunch out of the deal- even if it is only 10:30am.  My mom used to be in such a rush to get me back to school when I had ortho appointments but I am bad with Austin, I cherish these little stolen moments and I hang on to him as long as I can.

After the braces were put on we went to Whole Foods for lunch.  I got a nice fresh salad and Austin and Cole got yummy  pizza.  A nice change from the standard Wendy’s that they usually request.  All good until he realized that eating with braces isn’t as easy as eating without.  It’s getting better though.

Love this (big) kid.  And a funny tidbit.  When he was baby he refused to let us listen to music.  He would yell “no song! no song!” every time we turned on the radio or put on a cd.  The one exception?  Beastie Boys.  If we put Beastie Boys on he would actually shake his little groove thang.
