My Second Day as a blogger

So, it's my second day on the blog and so far so good. I'm still playing around with the set-up, but it's fun. Thanks to those of you who have commented...it's fun to read them. Today was a 12:00pm dismissal from school, so we were all happy about that. Miranda had her Orthodontist appt at 1:00....she was not too happy about that. For those of you who don't know, Miranda is starting the steps toward getting braces. Today she had to get her palat expander in. This is a lovely device that they brace in her mouth to expand her upper jaw. She was really nervous, but we prayed and she prayed while they were putting it in and it went very quickly and she said it was not painful...so praise God for that!! Now, the painful part for me, well not really painful, just annoying. The palat expander has this tiny little hole in the center of it and I'm supposed to take this tiny little sharp pointed key and put it in the hole (without putting it in too far, so as not to puncture her)and then push down on it to turn it and I get the pleasure of doing this twice a day. What a joy!!!!! It's actually not that bad...they even put the key on a string so if I drop it in her mouth it won't go down her throat...........isn't that funny? This is probably really gross for some of you...Sorry!!! Just to fill you in from yesterday, I went to Weight watchers and I had lost .8lbs, which brings my total to 15.4lbs and yes I got my third gold star. Very encouraging. That's it for today my friends....love you!!

Hi Rhonda,

Reading this reminded me of when I had the palate-expander for Christina. We called it "the rack" like for your mouth. Poor dear. Christina even remembers it---she says "tell Miranda I feel bad for her!"

It's amazing what kids can put up with, isn't it.

Love this blogging thing. It encouraged me to get back to writing in mine.

Love,
Barb
