A big day. Alex got his braces today! He has four across his front teeth. Currently the San Jose Sharks are in the play offs. He follows their games closely. In honor off the Sharks, he selected teal colored rubber bands to go on his braces.
He was sad when they reviewed the HUGE list of foods that he is not supposed to have while the braces are on. That will be a challenge as the list contains lots of his favorite foods.
He had to take medicine, Demerol, one hour before we went to the dentist. He was active and playing basketball before we left. Later he was quite tired and fell asleep in the car while we waited for Daddy to finish working so we could go out for lunch. We went to The Creamery an Alex had a (huge) side order of french fries and a giant cookie dough ice cream milk shake. He was dipping his fries in his shake-Dad and I weren't sure if that was something he'll try again or of that was an idea that seemed good only because of the Demerol.
