there's a hole in your smile, dear Liza, dear Liza

Josephine lost her first tooth on Tuesday, the 16th.  Bottom front left one, which has been loose since around Thanksgiving.
She lost it at breakfast, while eating her carrots.  Which, to be fair, have only ever been purported to help one's eyes...

The tooth fairy has not yet been invited for a visit as this beloved granddaughter preferred to first carry it all over Texas in a reliquary, certain that her grandmothers would like to see the "lost" tooth.
:)

All pretty cute business, if you ask me.  I may or may not have been the only one sniffling back tears that morning as she so boisterously grew up before my eyes...
