Very, very happy girl!

Alex had her braces put on this morning. She is so happy but there were girls there getting their braces taken off and they were even more happy I think! I am so proud of Alex. She is not only pretty on the outside but just as pretty on the inside. She is kind and gentle with all creatures. I know that sounds kinda crazy but some kids are not gentle with anything! We got up at 5:30 to make it to her appointment by 7:30. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the office. She fell asleep in the car on the way home and I tried to get her to stay home with me today but she wanted to go to school. I gave her two Ibuprofen before her appointment so hopefully her mouth won't get too sore.
Anyway, it's been a good morning so far. I'm going to read a book this week. I haven't read anything for leisure since Christmas break. I bought "Watermelon" by Marian Keyes today and I'm sure I'll have it read by Thursday or Friday, depending on how much house cleaning that gets done!
