Teeth and the Park

Campbell had another appointment with the orthodontist today. She has been seeing one since she was 6. The poor child has big teeth and a small jawline. The orthodontists have all agreed to just pull teeth and wait to see what happens. As teeth come in, they pull the next teeth in line on top and bottom. She gets four done at a time. At 10 years old, she has only lost 2 teeth on her own. The rest have all been pulled. This tactict has been working, though. Her teeth are beautifully straight. The bite is a bit off and will have to be corrected with braces in 2-3 years. But, we are preventing majorly crooked teeth so the bite will be much easier to fix (and quicker and cheaper). She does not need to see the ortho for another 6 months unless she gets new teeth coming in. Yeah! We might actually have ortho insurance by then.

The weather was so beautiful today, in the mid 60's. We decided it would be a good day to check out a new park. We went to a little park that is a bit out of the way for where we live. It has a whole train set up, though so we had to go. The park wasn't as cool as we had hoped. We still had a great time, but we were hoping for a bit more. I snapped a few pictures. Hopefully I got a good one for Valentine's cards. We'll see.

We ended the afternoon by going to the pet store. The kids love to walk through and look at all the animals. It's like a mini zoo to them. All in all it was a great day!
