A BIG Day for Tommy

Today, almost exactly 2 years after Tommy got his braces on, he got them OFF!  woo hoo!  So much fun!  His teeth are so straight and beautiful.  His gums, are a little puffy, which we expected due to the condition he had but in a couple of days they should be back to normal.    So fun to see his beautiful smile. 

A BIG day around this house!

My friend Makila put this collage together for me of pics...
Left side before and after July 2009....Right side before and after today
center photo...fresh smile, and still puffy gums, at home!
How much older does he look on the right?  wow!
(side note: when Tommy saw this collage he said to me "Mom, your photo skills have really improved"...I thought that was sweet. I have been working on that so cute he noticed)

They come off in one big chunk..

Our good friend Jeff, AKA Dr. Sturdivant polishing them up

After a lunch at Fuddruckers, his choice...we stopped at Walmart, his choice, to make a candy purchase. He went a little candy crazy!!!!  All the stuff he missed with braces!

  4. Something about this post made me get choked up and teary. Maybe it's the great smile. Or the noticeable change over two years. Or the sweet comment about your pictures. Or the pure joy of all that candy. Love it. :)
