What to do with these Teeth?

Poor Jas.  She loves getting her teeth cleaned at the dentist's office and loves keeping them bright each night at home. She's always loved brushing teeth.  It's too bad, her teeth likes to dance in all different directions...

Look at how her adult teeth are coming in?  We've been informed that we need to do something about her teeth now, to enable her future teeth coming in to have enough room to grow.  She will be getting a myobrace/retainer thinga-ma-jigy thing put into her mouth soon.

First Baby Tooth Came Out - Jules


For the past week, Jules has been wiggling her tiny bottom front teeth because there is a huge adult tooth poking out from behind.  After all the wiggling, the first baby tooth came out!  She was so proud.  The second baby tooth popped off a week later.

Speaking Contest - Piu Ying - Jas (video)


Jas decided last minute to enter into the speaking contest at Piu Ying Mandarin school.  This was the first year for this type of contest so I didn't know what to expect.  The contest took place in a medium sized room that could probably fit about 50 people.  As more and more people showed up, I realized more than 50 kids were going to perform.  And with family members attending, the room was jam packed like crazy.  You could barely move.

Because the speeches were short (less than a minute long), everyone was finished in an hour.  They had trophies for the top 3 contestants and 7 honorable mentions.  Jas was terrific.  She came in 8th place!  Above is the video of her speech (Twinkle twinkle little star).  Keep up the great work!
