Emily's New Smile

Today was a big day for Emily. As you can see, she is sporting a new smile as her braces were removed! To say she is happy would be a vast understatement. Mary and I think she is just beautiful. Just the mere fact that she let us photograph her should speak volumes. Adding to her happiness is that fact that she had a lot of wooden nickels. Each visit to the orthodontist would earn a few nickels. If they brushed and maintained their braces well, she would get more nickels. Emily saved enough nickels to earn 2 $10 gift cards to Barns and Noble, where she intends to spend the entire thing on Hobbit stuff, and a $10 gift card to Starbucks. I told her the nice thing to do would be to give the Starbucks card to me as I have suffered through this as much as she has. She dismissed my suggestion in its entirety.

Great smile Emmy! There is a sign in my dentists office that I like "you don't have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep." Having healthy teeth will be worth more than a nickle. Keep brushing. Luv'ya

Congrats, Em, looking good! I remember when you got yours on! Can't wait to get mine off so we can both have perfect teeth! :D
