Grant still has a problem with belt buckles if they are against his skin (shirt not tucked in). Thank goodness he didn't have to have braces.

Jacob is so allergic to nickel that he can't go to Wonderland (the nickel arcade game place). He walks in and seriously 10 minutes later he is covered in hives! The snaps on jeans, belt buckles like you said, and such give him a ton of problems. We weren't sure if Jacob would do okay with the standard metal in braces, but I couldn't take a chance that the braces would hurt him (over and above their typical pain anyway LOL) because paying for braces twice would have killed me.
