A Rough Day for Talbie

Yesterday was a rough day for Talbie. She started off by having to go to the doctor (the same time as Emmie) and get 2 more shots to get her caught up for registration for 7th grade. I remember the day when the kids would get their kindergarten shots and then you could say, "After these shots, you'll never have to get another shot!" Well - those days are gone. Now they have the series of Hepatitis A (which she had already had all of those), they have the Gardisil shot that is a 3 part series of shots (to prevent cervical cancer)and a shot for meningitis. The shots she needed were a tetanus booster and the next Gardisil shot.

(It's pretty funny when you bring your camera to the doctor with you and they say, "You must be a blogger!")

After Talbie's shots, we let her pick where she wanted to eat lunch because it was her "last meal" before we headed to the orthodontist for BRACES! She chose Subway!





Aren't they pretty? She only needed to get them on the top for now. At least she never needed the "medieval torture device" that Maddie needed before she got braces. You know the one that you crank every day or so to widen their jaw and the roof of their mouth?

After all of this, we went later that evening to the Jr. High and turned in everything for registration for next year. She's growing up - whether we want her to or not!!

Bronson also went with us to the orthodontist but his is another story that will have to wait until tomorrow. We thought Maddie had a small mouth when she started out with the ortho - Bronson wins the prize. More on him tomorrow...
