Braces and glasses. Poor guy. This will be the year that sucks for Nathan.
The move to Hinesville
New school
New friends
braces
glasses
Eric going to school for 2 months and possibly deployed.
May have to get a puppy to offset all the emotional upheaval.
So we went to the orthodontist on Monday. He's recommending a 2 phased-approach. Braces on the 8 adult teeth he's already got, plus a couple of extractions. That's for the first 12-18 months. Then a retainer for 1-1/2 to 2 years (good luck with keeping track of that!). Then perhaps another round of braces on the adult teeth that come later. Hopefully round 1 will be enough.
Eye exam came today. His obscenely long eyelashes (courtesy of the Cryer male genetics) made for a difficult exam. Luckily, the professionals only tested him as 20-40 in each eye - unlike the 20-70 that the pediatrics clinic did. But we're going ahead to get the glasses. Should be ready in 7-10 business days.
So, between the braces payment plans and the glasses - to all our loved ones that we exchange presents with at Christmas - be prepared for 3rd ID t-shirts and coffee mugs. 'Cuz that's all our budget will allow for ;)
