Matthew has now embarked on the passage that marks the beginning of "tween" years. Wednesday marked the day with a visit to the orthodontist. He's got braces on and it'll probably stay on for about 1.5 years. Besides the fact that Tony and I will be making car payments into his mouth, he's been whining about how uncomfortable it is. I don't know how this feels since I didn't have braces growing up but Tony certainly can empathize. Matthew's diet has consisted of anything that can fit through a straw, pastina soup and mashed potatoes. As of today, he's still uncomfortable but I trust in time, the pain will subside.
