Wednesday's Walk

Today I was at the orthodontist with Ryan when I decided on my topic for today's Wednesday Walk.

Ryan has not progressed quite as quickly through orthodontics as Megan has. Poor guy has had only six permanent teeth for the last several years. Four on the bottom - two on the top. In spite of all the correction done thus far - there still was simply not enough room for the two teeth on either side of the two front teeth to come down. We actually had his two [baby] eye teeth pulled last summer to help out. Finally, in the last 10 weeks - those two teeth have begun to peep through the gums.

This is where my Wednesday Walk Down Memory Lane comes in. I had a flashback while talking to the orthodontist. So, I told her:

"Really, it shouldn't be such a surprise that Ryan's teeth are so slow to come in! When Megan and Ryan were 6-7 months old we joked that it was funny that Megan had the teeth and Ryan had the hair!"

Megan must have really missed having her own hair because when I nursed the twins simultaneously in the football hold (one baby under each armpit with their heads nearly touching in front of my chest) Megan would always raise her little arm and hand above her head and twirl Ryan's hair!

It is funny how that sweet memory just bubbled up today!
