Bye Bye Braces!!

After more than 2 1/2 years, Tommie got his braces off yesterday! Yippee!! I was the one who was thrilled when our $104 monthly payments to the orthodontist ended in the spring. But, Tommie is the one who was truly thrilled when the braces came off yesterday! He has had one tooth battle after another and getting braces was another huge step toward nice teeth & a better self esteem. I'm looking forward to many years of watching him smile. It took prompting this morning to get him to show his teeth while he smiled (as evidenced by the photo!). After 35 years of hiding his teeth, it's a habit he'll have to get used to. :o) Hooray for Tommie!!!
