We'd been expecting it since well before Christmas. There was the slightest of a wiggle in mid-December. By the height of the holiday it was jiggling back and forth. Over the last week or two it was either flopped forward or back, as the tongue dictated. L's loose tooth has been the subject of much speculation, anticipation, and (dang it!) procrastination. Surely it would come out while Mimi and Grampy were in town over Christmas - but no. Before school started back, no doubt. No go. Why the dental delay? What's with the incisor indecision? All of her school friends have been lisping for months! Well all the waiting and worrying over tentative teeth has finally come to an end. I got home late tonight from a church meeting to find a little girl who should long have been a-bed up bouncing around with an enormous grin wrapped around her face - a very revealing grin at that. My little angel now looks more like a prize-fighter. You take one look and wonder how bad the other kid fared. But contrary to popular opinion here in Los Angeles, looks can't buy you happiness, and I have one happy girl. But then again, money can buy happiness, and I think someone is banking on a good haul from the dental recycling fairies tonight.

This has nothing to do with a tooth, but I really like Lizzie's hair cut in this post. It's really cute cut shorter like that.
