"I'm a piranha!"
Remember that scene from the movie Nemo? The dentist's niece, Darla, comes into the office to get her birthday present and says to her Uncle, "I'm a piranha," as she shows her mouth full of braces and then bites down as if she were going to bite something off.

Taylin has blessed us with her acting debut of the above scene as she now has braces so we get the full effect. It is very cute and so is she! She was so excited, and counted down the number of days, until she got her braces. But upon sitting in the chair, she didn't think it was as fun as she thought it would be. She did great though and was super brave.
This is her pretending to NOT want to smile.

And this is her beautiful smile now!

And this is her being silly and Kaylie wanting in on the action!

I remember bending a paper clip to fit in my mouth to look like a retainer because I thought they were cool. How insane is that? I think braces look cute on kids. Not so much on parents though!My mom, to this day, tells me to smile big because she paid a lot for it.

Ahhhhh....braces. Brings back childhoold memories. Hopefully she won't have to thru the whole nine yards (ie...head gears, rubberbands on the braces, etc..). Let us know how Taylin handles the first visit back for tightening...or days that follow.
Thanks for sharing insights to a day in a life of the Nguyens. Keep up the great work!
