Day 36 - 12:53pm, 5 February 2018
Tuesday is a busy day - there's nursery, school, home for lunch, return to school for class trip to the woods, Little Mister's orthodontist appointment (with pouring rain thrown in for good measure), home, take Little Miss to the leisure centre (another soaking) and home to make tea. Thankfully, I am spared a third soaking as Little Mister is keen to collect his sister from gymnastics.
The orthodontist is pleased with progress and fits a thicker wire to his top teeth to move things along. She hopes to do the same with the bottom teeth at the next appointment. His teeth are already better aligned than mine. Last week, the dentist took x-rays at my check up and explained to me that my squinty roots and tipped molars were as a result of my own orthodontic visits as a child when, as she put it, orthodontics were in their infancy.
Little Miss is also making progress, enthusiastically explaining her latest gymnastics move to me - a kickover. This begins in a bridge position, from where she lifts one leg high in the air, before bringing both legs over her head in a controlled split to end up in a standing position. A bridge I can handle, even perhaps straightening one leg into the air, but beyond that I have no hope. My seven-year-old has overtaken me. That's progress for you.
