Ella Gives Up the "PASSIE"

I wanted to leave a short entry before going to bed...school is wearing me out. Tomorrow, Trent gets to meet his new teacher at Open House and he will get to see all of his friends that he's missed over the summer.

Today was Trent's first orthodontist appointment. We were told that he does not have fused teeth but rather a set of VERY LARGE front teeth with a 2-3 mm gap in the middle (it actually looks like a piece of his tooth has chipped and left a wide gap). We will be going back every 4 months until both teeth come in fully and then the orthodontist will fill in the gap and make it look like a normal tooth...a very large normal tooth. We will discuss it further as more teeth are lost and we get closer to braces.

But most importantly, today at Jackie's house Ella decided that it was time to get rid of the "passie." Jackie found out this summer that her son and daughter-in-law are expecting in March. Ella wants to give her passies to the new baby. So tonight we put all of them in a baggie, laid them next to the door, and she will deliver them to Jackie tomorrow morning. She went to sleep tonight without her passie!!!!! And she did extremely well...no crying!
