Layne News

Layne is Cali--May 2009

So, just thought I would get everyone filled in on Layne. She is having some stuff done in her mouth--the orthodontist just installed a Lower Lingual Arch. Whatever that means!! Just a lot of money. It has been the least painful of all the things they have done so far. We went the the dentist on Monday and they are suggesting we pull a couple more teeth. If you aren't up to speed on Layne's baby teeth issues--she just doesn't loose teeth. She has maybe lost 4 teeth on her own. The others have either been pulled or are still in there--hanging on for dear life. She has just been consistently late. So, they would like to pull a few more to encourage the adult teeth to move in. We will see!!

She has also been complaining about her knees hurting and so we went to the Chiropractor for his thoughts. It seems that maybe there is some over-use, but most likely just growing. She is wearing a knee strap and that seemed to really help yesterday at track. I so want her to stay as active as possible but I hate that she has so much pain at such and early age.

School is going well. She likes all of her teachers so far and that is great. She will have her first track meet next week and is planning to do the 4x400 and some field events. She is looking forward to the holiday weekend--although she just had last Friday off of school.

She has been doing really well about getting up in the mornings without my help!! This has been an area of stress for us--well, since she started school. So BRAVO to Layne for that. Side note: she is going to kill me for all the little things I am blogging about today.

For now, I think that about covers the things worth telling you about. I will take some track photos and try to update regularly on that--maybe even with some video!!
