Sam experienced a right of passage last week that I'm certain he isn't enjoying. Except for the fact that he says he's on a diet and since his teeth are killing him and he's not eating, he's losing weight. Hey, maybe I should get braces again.
I don't think anyone ever thinks braces are going to be as bad as they really are, but those first few weeks are killer. The good news is that Sam will probably only have to wear them for 18 months. Cross your fingers for that.
After the first few days, one of Sam's wires went rogue and was sticking straight into his cheek. Lucky for us, Dr. Nelson lives around the corner and will do anything for his hometeachers (Craig & Jake), so we buzzed over and he cut the wire. If you can't tell from the picture, Sam's elastics are navy blue and white in honor of BYU's top 10 basketball ranking.
