the pay off

finally, after THREE long years of surviving a mouth full of metal, and writing check after check after check...
(day he got them on three years ago)
(right before they came off)it finally paid off. what a handsome stud!


he also opted for contact lenses last week which totally add to the "make over" effect.
i've had to look at him twice a couple of times, he's just looks so much more grown up.
it's so fun to see how much he's changed since the day he got his braces three short years ago. wow.
it only took him about ten seconds to take a big giant bite out of an apple in the car on the way home.i let him choose the dinner menu. he requested, "anything that goes with corn on the cob".
it's the little things.

He looks great! I can't imagine how exciting it would be to finally have your braces taken off. He does look so much older!
