Today was our first visit and while the orthodontist did say Kade has a bit of time left, his mouth is way too narrow and will need 12 months or so of lower and upper braces that pretty much just make his teeth lines wider so when he's about 12 years old there will be enough room for all the permanent teeth. The money part of it bites, but is not horrible and I would even be ok with the appointments, if they were in our town. What really stinks is that we have to go to Grand Forks every 3 weeks, for 10 minute check-ups during regular business hours. So right now, my biggest concern is how to make it work with our schedule because it is more complicated with me watching other kids here. I know it will work out, I just want to complain to someone I guess. :) All 3 kids inherited my tiny mouth while Ehren has a nice big jaw they could have had, isn't that how it always goes? :)
This happened just a day after my appointment with a new chiropractor. I went there with a bad shoulder pain but he pretty much assessed that my whole back is out of whack and will need 3 months of appointments with him. I did like how he looks at your posture and can tell what is wrong just from that. I thought my posture wasn't that bad, but from a side view, it is all crooked. It gave me an idea to bring Anika there too because I always thought her posture has been really strange. Well, when I thought my picture showed a pretty crooked back, Anika's was way out of line from what it should be. He says that kids respond to the back adjustments a lot quicker than adults so now it is our girls night out to go to the chiropractor. Whoo-pie! I mean that sarcastically, of course. :) I really just want to stay home and do nothing with my family in the evenings so it's hard to have something going on every night but I really want to see if it helps Ani's posture. I am still half skeptical of chiropractics and I am not going to turn into one of those hypochondriacs who go to a chiropractor every day for something. So I'm giving him 3 months and then I'm done. Plus, how come I feel like I've been beaten up after every adjustment? :)
I guess God is just teaching me how to be really organized with my time and to be able to manage everything I need to. And I am very thankful in the midst of this that I am able to stay home right now so I have more time for simple things like laundry, cooking, baking and stuff and I have absolutely no idea how the full-time working moms do those things.
Here are some pictures from Halloween last night. The kids had fun and it was pretty quick because they got a ton of candy right away. Kason was a Hulk and it fits his personality perfectly. He is our little hulk sometimes and even does that "roar". :) They love going to nana and papa's house, aunt Judith's and some neighbors. Kason did not disappoint with his bluntness and when we got to see great aunt Judith she was just getting up from a little nap and he asked her "how come you look like you're going to die?" I was relieved she didn't think anything of it and just replied to him that she was sleeping so that's probably why. :)
