Katelyn
I took Kate to the Dentist yesterday in preparation for her to get braces. She has not been to Dentist since 1st Grade what a bad Mother I am. She had a good report that she has 5 cavities the Dentist rate cavities on a scale 1-100. They rated hers at 20. So we will take care of them  now so later she won't have the problem with them. The dentist told her that she has only one wisdom tooth to come in and that she has no room in her mouth for it. So it will have to come.
The Dentist asked if she likes her smile she said quiet sternly NO!!!

With a cool breeze now and then.
