The before picture. I took two, but the poor kid has her eyes closed in BOTH of them, and being the good mom I am, I didn't notice. And it's not like we can go back in time and get another one before her braces, so closed eyes it is.
After, and now this one is blurry, but it's not my fault because PIC CREDITS TO TERRY. She said the actual putting on of the braces wasn't that bad, compared to the horror stories she was hearing from her classmates. Her teeth are a little sore and she's been eating more oatmeal and applesauce this week than I've seen her eat in a long time, but overall, she's not near as whiny as I thought she would be.
Unless we remind her how she has to go brush her teeth after like every little snack, and especially after something like this, the perfect s'more, as modeled by Terry's hand, and yes he took this picture too, even though it's in focus. We had a fire last week outside and did the whole s'more making bit. He tends to build hobo fires out of leftover wood from Tim's house though, and I'm forever worried about toxic fumes rolling off the undoubtedly lead paint, so I mostly just eat chocolate and graham crackers. 
This is Annie being pouty because she wasn't too thrilled with the subject matter of this entry. She claims that she wouldn't have minded having crooked teeth for the rest of her life. In fact, she would have preferred it. Too bad!

Aw bless poor Annie. Tell her that her teeth will be beautiful once it's all over.
Has terry ever thought of going into hand modelling?
Hee hee!
Ooooh, Annie really doesn't look all that different with the braces on now, but you just wait, there will be a huge difference in the future, and one day, Annie, you'll be glad you did get them. I just hope the soreness doesn't last that long. Bless your heart Annie!
How long will she have to wear the braces?
The boy only wore them a year.
It's so, so, so important that they brush their teeth when they have their braces. I had braces many moons ago and there are 2 teeth that got stained that never came out. I showed Max and he managed to brush.
His braces came off and his teeth look beautiful.
They better had because it cost enough! :)
