Something’s Missing!

I had this feeling, this morning, that Carolyn’s tooth that had started being very slightly wiggly an entire year ago might not be around too much longer – it had become very, very wiggly in the past few weeks.  It even had an adult tooth coming up behind it already, because it was being so very stubborn about coming out!  So I took a picture, one last picture, of Carolyn’s adorable baby-toothed grin.

All 20 baby teeth, present and accounted for...

And sure enough, she got off the bus wearing a look of panic, because her tooth suddenly felt funny…

Such a tiny little thing!

And now there’s something missing!

There's a hole in that grin...and she suddenly looks older!
