kade gets braces

Nan suggested we get Kade an orthodontic consult so we did.

He has a crossbite so my Dr. suggested braces for 6-9 months.

The next week we were in and now we are twins.

Kade was really excited to get braces.

That morning we went and he was such a trooper.

He was a perfect patient.

Of course, he chose red and green bands for December.

He was excited to show Drew that they match.

This is right before we left the office:

You can already see a slight movement a couple hours later:

This is the next day:

They have moved so much already!

After Kade's appointment we went up to Ethan's work so he could see him.  

Then we went to Which Wich for a sandwich and shake.  He ate like a champ.  

We did a little Christmas shopping and picked Addi up from school and hour early.  

By dinner, his mouth was sore.  He had a smoothie for dinner.  

It took a few days for him to eat real food but he is doing great now.  

It was kind of surreal for me to see him with braces.  I feel like I've aged 10 years.

How is my 8 year old wearing braces (and so am I!!?!?)

But soon enough we will both have them off and then it'll be Add's turn :)
