Teeth in Waiting

Erica had a dentist appointment this morning. They took full-jaw x-rays this time. The images are pretty cool to look at, since you can see exactly where the remaining baby teeth are, with adult teeth lined up beneath them. They recommended she get a consult with an orthodontist about an underbite. In the lead-up to this, Erica seems to have take a special interest in braces and is talking up how much she wants to get them, which seems kind of odd.

(Speaking of Erica special interests, she had a class field trip last week to Plimoth Patuxet and has also been talking about that frequently. Apparently she really wants to go again as soon as she can.)

The dentist's office is right across the street from Mount Auburn Cemetary, which is really beautiful, and I convinced Erica to take a brief walk around the nearby portion before her visit this time.

The rest of the day was pretty busy. Erica's friend George was over to our house again this evening, and I made mac and cheese for the kids. They played a trivia game that Julie picked up from some bargain bin and also a bit of Mario Kart. Though Erica is getting good at the game, she's still easily frustrated when something goes wrong.
