The kids' dentist expressed concern about Leo's overbite. It's easy to see why since I can stick my entire thumb between his top and lower teeth when his jaw is closed. We went to the orthodontist today and he was a really nice guy. He was friendly to Leo and clear about the situation. Fortunately, we get to wait and see what happens as Leo grows and gets more of his adult teeth. The orthodontist wants to keep checking in to see how he's doing. The big issue is Leo's tendency to stick his lower lip between his teeth. It's pushing the rows away from each other and pronouncing the overbite.
Leo has been working on his "deal" since before the end of the school year. We made a deal with him that if he had good behavior and completed some spelling and math worksheets every day, he could have a Lego set as a reward. He finally earned his Lego set. It arrived yesterday and he worked hard to assemble it. (You can see how he's sticking his lip between his teeth in this picture.)
This is
Kylo Ren's ship from the new Star Wars movie. It was over a 1,000 pieces and a bit of a challenge. He's thrilled to have it and will keep up the good work. Serafina is still working towards her deal, but there is a Lego set in the near future for her too.
