I don't knwo when my appointment is and my mom is out gardening now so I cannot ask her but I wanted to let you know that  even though I doh't have much to say right now, if you comment on my blogs or send me a question, I check my blog pretty much everyday so then I can answer your questions and maybe someone else is thinking the same thing and afraid or something to ask. So what I am sayin gis if you have a question or a comment, write to me and I will get back to you.
have a nice day and a happy memorial day weekend.

I think I have a loose tooth

Today i went to my mom's class after school. Her class is hatching eggs - for chicks. So today she had 3 chicks hatch. They are so cute! We waited two hours at the school to see another one hatch. you coudl see the hole and the little beak sticking out and then an arm and then it kind of rested for so long tha tmy mom said it was time to go home but while we were waiting I played with some of the toys with my brother and my friend and then my mom let one of the chicks that hatched yeterday run around on the floor and it wen tover to my hand and it walked over it and then it pecked my fingers
But tha tis nto why I am writing. I want to tell you that one of my front teeth is finally loose! at least I think so but don't worry, I ti s not going to affect my palate expander.
I hope you have a nice day. I just wanted to tell you about my tooth.
hey, how are you doing...the ones who told me they just got the palate expander? I hope you are doing okay with it and hey, you are one more day closer to having less days to turn it.

Now it is time to find out about you and here is a joke too!

This is me with my Opa. He came to visit me from Florida. I am playing the piano for him. Oh, that is something you can do with a palate expander...play the piano..haha

Hi to all my blog friends out there! How are you doing? I hope you are all doing okay? I have been wondering who is reading my blog. I looked today and I have over 1,485 hits! That is soooooo cool. I am wondering who you all are. Do you all have palate expanders too?

When you write comments, I will answer them so let me know and then I will answer you :).

I have to tell you that yesterday I was supposed to go for my checkup for my palate expander. I didn't go. My appointment was for 2 o'clock and my mother couldn't get me out of school early to take me. i don't know why they don't make my appointments for after school. My mom said she will try and get an appointment for after school. I don't like missing. Besides my brother has pneumonia and it was raining and she didn't want to go out in the rain with him. Tha tis another reason why I missed my appointment.

You know sometimes I forget that I even have the palate expander so if you are just getting yours, don't worry, because it goes by really fast. I was so scared when i first got it and my mother was going crazy with fear because she was so afraid to hurt me. It does hurt when you turn it. Tha tis the the truth, but then you kind of get used to it. Now I am in the part where it just hangs out in my mouth to keep my mouth the new size. I have not lost a lot of baby teeth so I will not even get braces for a couple of years I think because don't you need your grown up teeth to get braces? But at least when I get my grown up teeth, there will be space for my new teeth to fit in.

Here is a dentist joke I found to make you guys laugh...

Why did the king go to the dentist?

To get his teeth crowned...

haha..

I will tell you that I really didn't get that but my mom has a crown so she was trying to explain it to me about what a crown is.

Have a good day.

thank you for reading my blog

Hang in there if you just got your palate expander..it will be okay :)

Question Answered...

Hellllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooo friends,
how are you?
"W" from Sweden asked about how much my mouth was stretched out with my rapid palate expander. This is the email from the dentist to answer that.

"The expander has an 8m screw. Each turn is 1/4 of a mm. His total expansion was 8mm.  There is also a 12mm version of the appliance. "

when you look at that on a ruler, its really not that big but boy did it hurt and now I still have the space in between my mouth but my mom says she doesn't think it looks as big as it did. I haven't had to turn it for about a month now but it stays in my mouth to hold the stretch I think.

Have a good day. I am going to my school concert now to sing.

Your Friend,
Colin :)

I got to write a blog and now I am famous! Even a few of my friends read my blog for their reading challenge homework for school.

US.A., Canada, Denmark, UK, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Phillipines, Lebanon, Denmark, Austria and China.

I am making new friends on the internet who are going through the same thing as me.

Oh, my mom said to write that one thing that is cool about having a palate expander is that my teeth will be great! Yeah!

Have a nice day.

Oh, I will email my dentist today about finding out how many millimeters my mouth changed. That was a good question from "W" in Sweden...Hope they will answer back soon.
