On Wednesday I picked Bailey up early from school and we headed to the orthodontist for Phase 1 of her orthodontic treatment. She seemed a little nervous, but she handled it like a champ. There were parts that were obviously quite uncomfortable but even her dental hygienist said she was her best patient of the day. At times I thought she was maybe in a little too much pain because she was kinda' squeamish in the chair but since her mouth was full she didn't have any way to tell me and we just pressed on. Of course her immediate concern when leaving was food ~ no surprises there! I thought macaroni and cheese would be a great option since it's her favorite food and it's soft, but that proved to be a little to difficult with all the new appliances ~ so the mac and cheese ended with tears. Luckily we were prepared for this so I got right to making her a chocolate shake which quickly adjusted her mood. Basically all night she was able to eat anything she wanted and could manage which ended up consisting of lots of ice cream:)
