As many of you may recall, Gina, my oldest, had the pleasure of being free of braces back in June. This was exciting, but also a bit tough because Stuart, who also had braces, was told that he would have to wait. We thought he'd have to endure one more year in the mini-torture devices.
Fortunately, that wasn't so! My baby (he hates when I say that) had his braces removed this week (isn't he just so handsome?). For the first time since his permanent teeth started coming in, Stuart has straight teeth. For the first time since he's been in school, he's not afraid to give a full-fledged smile. This is beautiful on so many levels because I believe that Stuart's natural demeanor is meant to include lots of smiles. I've always known he was beautiful, now other folks will see it too.
Of course, just like his sister, he got balloons and a bag full of sticky stuff to eat. Unlike his sister, however, he had to go back to school. Stuart is one of these people with a heart that is two times too large (this is a good thing, not a bad thing), so he ended up sharing his goodies with his friends. I guess his thought was that he could never eat it all himself. I think he also knew that if he came anywhere close to our house with a Snicker bar that either his granny or Gina would do their best to get a bite (or two or the whole thing). Better to share with your friends than your crazy relatives any day.
He was so excited that he got me to take this picture. He wanted to be sure that I put this up on the blog (probably because I blogged Gina's rescue from torture), and share his good fortune with all of our online friends. You all don't know how lucky you are in this--before his braces came off, getting him to pose for a photo was sometimes kind of hard.
