The Cutest Little Brace Face...

Have you ever seen a cuter brace face? We went to the dentist for a routine checkup, and the dentist noted that Logan's teeth meet right together. Since the top ones don't overlap the bottom, he has an underbite. He told me to see an orthodontist to see what they had to say about it. It took him in, they said he should probably have braces to fix his bite before his jaw fuses shut (by age 12). At first, I wasn't so sure. Then he said that Jay Leno has an underbite - that's all I had to hear - it was done, then, and there. The very next day, he had braces. He was pretty excited to get them on - until he got them on. He was sooo mad. When the orthodontist asked to see what colors he picked, Logan just shut his mouth, and shook his head. He did the same thing to the receptionist. I pulled into the school parking lot, and he burst out into tears. He said, "I can't go to school. If I go, I won't be able to talk to anyone, or they'll see my braces." I sent him anyway, and worried the whole rest of the day. Here's his equally adorable "mad face"...

When he got home that day, his attitude was changed. He said that everyone in the whole school wanted to see his braces. He picked "fire red", and "blue"elastics. He says that no one can ever guess the "fire red". Rest assured, he will correct anyone who says that he has red braces. He is maticulous about taking care of them. He follows instructions to a fault. I had a bag of swedish fish at Chase's soccer game. He put one in his mouth, and realized he wasn't supposed to eat it, so he spit it out. I'm telling you right now, never in a million years would I have the discipline to spit out a swedish fish! Here's a better picture of the braces - NOT Logan. Although, Logan thinks this is the funniest face int he whole world (I think he's being a bunny?)...whatever!
