Hobbie has teeth!

Hobbie got braces February of 2008. He was not thrilled about it at all, but they seemed to think he needed them.

Last week he got them off. He was very thrilled about it. He had to have some baby teeth pulled to get everything in alignment. To keep everything in place so the permanent teeth can come in hopefully straight he had to get a retainer. He started gagging on the retainer at the orthodontist so they cut a section out of the retainer. Then when we get home and he would be fine until he would start talking and then it would gag him again. Since we were already home dad thought he would Tim Allen the retainer. You know, Tim Allen, Home Improvement comedy show, always having to make things better or faster. That my friends, is my husband. Anyway, he start filling away at the retainer and viola! it works. I still have a hard time getting used to looking at him without looking at metal and colored rubber bands. He actually has teeth! Such a cute kid.
