Yet Another Busy Day

Today was yet another busy day!! First I had to take Fraulein to the doctors, as she has been having earache and can't hear properly, she was diagnosed with an ear infection and given antibiotics. I then had to race up to college to drop her off, as she wanted to arrive before the second lesson (General Studies) because this is taught as a huge group (300 ish pupils) in the hall and she didn't want to walk in late and have everyone looking at her!! I think we made it in time lol.
Once I'd got back I had to nip to our accountants to sort sort some stuff out with him, then came home picked up Drama Teen and we set off for her latest orthodontist appointment. She had a late afternoon appointment for a change, so we had time to visit my parents (who I haven't seen since before Xmas, as they were in Australia for 6 weeks over Xmas) before her appointment.

There was some great news at the orthodontists - the treatment is very nearly finished :-) Drama Teen's teeth have moved into position even quicker than the orthodontist expected and she is thrilled with the progress and while we were there arranged a quick examination by the paediatric dentist, who will be making Drama Teen's bridge. We now have complicated co-ordinated appointments with both the orthodontist and the paediatric dentist for early March, when impressions will be taken and then 2 weeks later the bridge will be fitted. Drama Teen will have to wear her brace for a while longer, although the orthodontist was reluctant to say how long this could be (so that she didn't disappoint Drama Teen if it was longer than she estimated) but gave a rough estimate of 2-3 months :-) Drama Teen is overjoyed she will finally be rid of them :-) Although she will be fitted with a permanent retainer, hidden at the back of her teeth, so it won't be visible.

I know Drama Teen is thrilled to be coming to the end of her mega long stint of wearing braces, but I will miss our 'day out' together that we've had every six weeks or so for the past 3 years (or it could be longer, can't remember lol). Its fun to have time to ourselves to chat and sing along to CDs etc :-)

After we'd finished at the orthodontist, we tried to visit another set of Grandparents, but they were out so we couldn't. So instead we went to Pizza Hut for our tea, and then visited my Baby Sister for a while, before setting off home again. It was a loooooooooong drive and we were both extremely tired when we got home - Little Prince is sure to wake up early tomorrow, so I'd better go and get some sleep while I can lol.
Night Night :-)
