It’s amazing how fast children grow but today when Jocelyn got her braces on, it aged her instantly by a couple of years.  She’s only 9 but she looks so much older!  I was so proud of her last week when she did so well getting 6 extractions in preparation for today.  This morning she did just as well – she’s such a trooper – an enthusiastically picked out the light teal bands to match her Easter outfit for this upcoming weekend.  Let’s just hope the enthusiasm continues through the endless brushings and required flossing!  Taylor and Jocelyn both have matching metal hardware. . . expensive accessories!
