Yeah! We have a while!

So we went to the orthodontist and he took some x-rays of Jacob's teeth. It showed that he has a few years before his teeth start to loosen and fall out. Jason did not loose his first one until he was 8. I on the other hand had a full set of gigantic adult teeth by that age. Another thing that the orthodontist said is that Jacob has my giant teeth and Jason's small mouth. So the fact that he has sucked his thumb for the last 5 1 /2 years has been good. Making room for the huge teeth that are coming in to his tiny mouth. God had a plan. He has significant spacing between the teeth but his bite is fairly good. So our game plan is when he is 7 1/2 we will return and see where his teeth are as far as coming down and if he still sucks at night he will put in a devise that will help him stop. So it looks like the chances of him even having braces are slim because he has created plenty of room for the teeth to come in straight. I must say that I am very relieved because I did not want to put a cage in his mouth this young, it looks horrible. The orthodontist said he will most likely stop when he starts school and has more to occupy his brain.

So that brings us to my next subject. I have an I.E.P (Individual Education Plan) meeting at Cedar Grove Friday. They are going to talk to us about what type of class we are going to start Jacob in probably next week. They are going to try him in a class they think will be good for him and add some tutoring type stuff for enrichment so he won't be bored. Then next year I think he may go to Cherry Street, and keep the tutoring. I am not sure about next year, I am concentrating on this year. So that's all I have for today. I think I may post a thing I did earlier this week. Other than that this is all I have for today.
