So I took Mikey to the dentist a few days ago for a check-up and to get his overbite looked at.. The kid has the biggest overbite I have ever seen.. We are talking Mr. Ed sized.. There is at least an inch overhang between his top and bottom teeth. Poor kid, when he sleeps or is just relaxing he looks like the picture above, teeth over his bottom lip.. It is just where they naturally want to fall when he is not thinking about it! I think it also inhibits his speech.. L's and R's are very difficult for him to pronounce. Anyway, clearly, to me, it is not getting better. But of course the dentist insists that he still has a couple of years growing to do and that his jaw may grow forward some and close up the gap.. I'm thinking if I haven't seen any improvement so far (quite the opposite, actually) then it ain't gonna happen!! But I will play it by their rules and wait until he is 6 before I insist on an Ortho consult. That gives us 2 more years to start saving the pennies for what I am sure is going to be a costly fix!!And because it has been a while since you have seen Lillian's beautiful face, here she is! This was taken after I caught her watching her new favorite movie, Spy Kids. She was mimicking the kids movements with their spy glasses exactly with her own "Spy glasses".. When they pushed theirs down, she pushed hers down, when they took them off, she took hers off, when they put them back on, she did the same.. It was so cute! My little actress..
And, of course, what use is a picture of Lillian if her favorite critter isn't in it with her?? Absolutely none, according to her.. So here she is with Hoops, doesn't he look thrilled!
