Today was the last day of school for us....hooray, I'll get to sleep in an extra 20 minutes or so each morning for a while. Ryan got his report card. He passed to go to third grade, but still has a lot of trouble paying attention. Our other excitement was Ryan's 2 hour appointment at the orthodontist. His name is Dr. Sam King...called Dr. Sam by the kids, and there were a lot of them there. Ryan got pictures taken of his teeth, x-rays, and Dr. Sam looked at him for a long time. He was of the opinion that Ryan's teeth were crowded and that was only going to get worse as more "adult" teeth came in. He recommended we put Ryan in braces right away (which is what our dentist thought any orhtodontist would say) to get everything in line at an early age. My understanding was that if we were able to get the new teeth to come in and line up, Ryan wouldn't need braces in the teenage years. That would make dating easier....not that I plan to let him date. Anyway, the orthodontist was very nice (Both Ryan's dentist and 
Gina, my neighbor recommended him.) and kind of cute (That is his picture.) so I figured what the heck. He got molds of his mouth made today, spacers put in, and he goes on Monday to get the first part of his braces done. He did not seem so worried about the pain as that he would not be able to chew gum or eat sticky stuff. So, after his visit, we went to Krogers and got him some snack he was allowed to eat.
