Colm has to go to the dentist once a month to get his Palette Splitter expanded. He had an appointment yesterday and good news, his bite has been corrected. He still has to keep it in though to train the soft tissues in his mouth to stay put, kind of like how you have to wear a retainer after getting braces removed. Also, after next month, we only have to go back every six weeks until I don’t know when. Next month we get to go twice, once for the palette splitter and then the boys both have their regular cleaning appointments. We’re getting kind of chummy with the dental hygienists. 🙂

This will always be known as the 4th of July that Liam learned to ride his bike without training wheels. Our neighbor let us borrow their old bike that their boys learned to ride on. Let’s just say this bike has seen better days; there isn’t much Liam could do to this bike. Sean took him across the street, gave him a push or two and he was off. His next lesson was braking which he figured out quickly, too. Two hours later he was riding in the neighborhood bike parade.
