Braces for Reeva...Again!

Wow...braces again...and she's only 10! Whew! But, this is it...at least according to her orthodontist....she will be done with braces before 6th grade. And that might not be a bad thing. She is very concientious right now about what she can and can't eat with them and she's happy with them - don't know that I could say that in a few years.

Here she is getting ready to go in....

in the chair...

with her fancy glasses and 'bib'...

with something that does not look comfortable at all...

doesn't look any better :(

checking them out....



and showing them off!

Little Man and a Big Girl Moment

Reegan discovered this weekend that her cousins, Cora and Caleb, (who I might mention are a teensy bit younger than her) could both ride a bike.....without training wheels. Hmmm, this did not sit very well with my youngest who is forever trying to keep up with her big sisters and brother. She was determined that she was going to ride a bike. So, today we stopped by Erica's to borrow the little bike that Cora learned on (smaller than the bike Reegan got for her bday in October) and brought it home. As soon as we got home Reegan hopped on it, took off and didn't stop! AND that little bike looked way too small for her so I told her that I was certain she could ride her big girl bike without training wheels. To this she replied, "Ok, well I guess I have to wait for Daddy to get home so he can take my training wheels off." Imagine her delight when I told her that I could handle training wheels. :)

But then I realized

that this might be a good job for a big brother. ;)

And I have to say that Reece was more than happy to help his little sister out. :)

She was quite the little helper as she watched her big brother work.

Check out those skills!

And she is off!

I'm thinking Cora and Caleb had better watch out....

Reegan is ready to go!!
