bling

Both of the boys got some new bling at the end of the school year.  We found out Hayden was in desperate need of glasses.  The eye doctor didn't want to give him his full prescription that he needs, she said it is too drastic of a change, so we will go back next year and get his full strength prescription.  I think he looks adorable in his new glasses!  Dusty was a bit - ok, a lot jealous that he didn't need glasses too!  And he was even more upset that Hayden got to get his glasses the last week of school, and he had to wait until the week after school got out for his new bling.  He was so excited to get braces!  We have been told for a couple of years that he would need them, and we finally got them!  They have not bothered him a bit.  He says the worst part has been the expander, which he has had in for a couple months before the brackets.  The expander made him really sore, and he spent about a week learning how to talk and eat with it in, and he is looking forward to having it taken out in the next few months.  The braces have been a breeze for him and he thinks they are SO cool!!!  I only hope he still thinks they are cool in a couple of years when he goes back in for phase #2.
