I got the call this weekend we'd been waiting on. The grandbaby finally lost her first tooth. It had been loose for a while. It became so loose before it finally came out that she despaired of eating an apple. She was terribly afraid she would swallow the tooth and thereby lose the economic advantages thereof.

The permanent replacement has already grown in behind the baby tooth so there is no gap. Her former straight row of little teeth is offset, as the new one is set back beyond the baby teeth not yet ready to yield. Thus things are rather "snaggly" when she smiles.

Not that I don't think she grows ever prettier with time.
