SMILE !

So. I already told you where we spent our day today, but I left out a funny conversation with Lindsay.

Garrett had his pictures first (which was a good thing. It was hard enough getting him over there clean with combed hair. I knew it wouldn't last long!). Lindsay watched as the mothers checked their children's hair, spit-cleaned their faces and tucked in their shirts. After a few minutes she started asking if her hair looked pretty and if her face was clean. I told her she looked beautiful! A few more minutes of silence and she asked "Mom. How long do you think it will take for my teeth to come back?"

Now, Lindsay has been a little sensitive lately about everyone making a big deal out of her missing front teeth. So, I said "Not too long. I can already see one of them coming through." She smiled her toothless smile and said "What time do I get my picture taken?" I looked at my day planner and told her "1:45. That'll be after we eat lunch." She looked up at me with her big blue eyes and with total sincerity she said "Do you think I'll have my teeth back by then???"
