A good mom will sit by their child and hold their hand while they're getting braces on.
An even better mom will stand by their child wrestling their hands out of the way so that they can take a picture.
She's a lucky girl, being able to go through her awkward braces stage at such a young age. I went through my awkward braces stage little over a year ago and it wasn't nearly as cute as this. Not to mention she took it a whole lot better than I did when I got mine put on. She was all smiles and giggles trying to talk with her mouth open as wide as she possibly could so that her lips would pull back and reveal her newest accessory.
So what's next?
Shaving her legs? Wearing makeup? Talking back? Severe mood swings?
Listening to Justin Bieber full blast in her room as an act of rebellion?

I may be the only one, BUUUT, I used to wear a "retainer" made out of a paperclip...a true right of passage. Did Nate supply your child will her new grill?
I totally did that! We went to one of the orthodontists he refers his patients to.
I too made braces out of paper clips. A sign of intelligence. I CANNOT believe Abrie let you post that picture. Saige would disown me.
Well, technically she didn't let me.... I just did it anyway and told her one day she'd laugh about. I'm a good mom like that. :)
