Haircuts and Orthodontists

All 3 boys got haircuts yesterday.  Carter chopped his off in order to get ready for football practices next week.

Dillon looking rather suave in his new "crunchy" hair do.  The stylist spiked it with gel and thus, he calls it crunchy!

And here is Hudson eating a rice cake and showing off his green/purple eye from the nightstand! 

Abby is not here this week.  She's at my mother's house with my 10yr old  neice.  Every summer they have "Ma Camp" with my mom and do the things I hate:  paint fingernails, sew, cook and such.


As for orthodontists, well good and bad news.  Carter gets his braces off the day before starting 9th grade!  Dillon had an evaluation with Carter's ortho.  I knew it was going to be involoved.  Dillon has a tiny mouth with crowding.  It turns out that he has a bad underbite that will require wearing a reverse pull headgear.  Kid ya not, it looks like a medievil torture device!  He will begin palate expanders in 6months and then the headgear in 12months.  The doctor said he may even need surgery as an adult.  It is super tough with him because of his developmental delays and sensory processing disorder.  He is fearful of anything new and has few coping skills.  This will be a slow process of correcting his teeth.  When your orthodontist says " you and I are going to be real good friends" it is not a good sign :(
Poor Dillon, nothing is easy for him, well, except being incredibly handsome, sweet, loving and funny!
