Aimee's Christmas Cards!



Aimee has finished her Christmas cards today! She started last Saturday by painting the tree and star, then last Sunday she added some glue glitter. She decided instead of having blobs like lights around the tree, she started to spread it across the tree with her finger, I gave her one of my old plastic saving cards to spread the glitter instead!! Today I put 3d foam tape on the back, she peeled it off and stuck down the tree, some might be crooked (oh how I had to hold myself back not to fix and put them straight) but they are all Aimee's own work!!! She also added a Happy Christmas peel off, again a little out of line, but hey who cares these are done by a 4 year old, and she has done a brilliant job in my opinion even though its bias!

Braces!

Chloe had an Orthodontist appointment on Wednesday, after two years of him saying, more teeth need to fall out and the permanent teeth need to come up, she was told that she will be starting treatment! When I went to book the next appointment the receptionist said did we want to start before Christmas!!! I said might as well get it started!!! So she has an appointment next Wednesday for a mould fitting and the Wednesday after she will be getting her retainer to help her jaws in line for the braces!!! Even though she has wanted them, she is a little nervous now of the teasing that she might get!!! I keep telling her it will be worth it in the long run! When she is ready to start to go out (OMG help me!!!!) her teeth will be fixed and she will be able to smile her beautiful smile again. Chloe got very self-conscious because of her teeth and doesn't really like having her photo taken any more!!!



I also had braces so I know most of the pain and how uncomfortable it can!!!! and what a long road it seems when you are soo young! I got mine around the 15 age mark, Chloe is just coming up to her 12th birthday, so hopefully things might move a little quicker for her. I didn't get mine taken out until I was 21, but even then the difference was amazing!!!!


Good luck my beautiful girl!!!!


Love mum!!!
