My Braces

A few weeks ago something exciting happened to me. I put on braces! It all started when I went for a check up at the dentist. He told me that he is going to measure my mouth. I was a bit confused why would he want to measure my mouth? So I asked him why? And he said that I need braces!!!!! And, that when he makes sure of the results I would  have to come back and put them on. I was excited and nervous at the same time--my friend Yasmine has braces and I wanted to show my friends mine!

After a couple of days I went to the dentist with my father. I was ready to put on braces. I went into the clinic lay on the chair and opened my mouth. I needed braces on my upper teeth and lower teeth. Each one needed one hour, but I am lucky because I was going to put on the top first, get used to it, then come back and do the bottom part. I got a little bored waiting and waiting just for the top part to finish, and finally it was over. I went home in pain. I couldn't really eat, but I was OK.

There were many goodies and presents and singing. Christmas carolers came and sang lovely Christmas songs. It was tons of  fun and entertaining, and after that amazing party I went home to bed and woke up and it was Christmas!

My Favorite Foods!

Today I am going to tell you what my favorite meals are for breakfast,  lunch and dinner.

I usually have labaneh, olive oil, zaatar and Arabic bread for breakfast. Labenah is made out of plain yogurt, however the zaatar is made out of dried thyme with sesame seeds. You dip the bread in the labaneh with olive oil, and then dip in the zaatar, or you can make it all into a delicious sandwich. Sometimes I have what you guys have, like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or pancakes!
