So, we're just chillin at the playground, Emma plops down on the bench next to me and before I even realize what she's talking about she says "I don't like my smile because it only goes down." i thin she'd started by saying that she likes each of our smiles, but I hadn't started listening.
It was surreal because she didn't seem deeply upset, just fed-up. I asked her what she does like about herself, and told her what I like about her - her favorite topic of conversation! She seemed okay with the resolution!

I dropped it in that when she's older we might be able to do something to her smile, but surgery is a last resort and we're still in the exploration of kinesio taping therapy and other things.
I guess this is just the start.
