Beth’s two front bottom teeth have been wobbly for a few weeks now. The highlight of today’s BBQ was when one of them came out, while she was eating a nectarine. She was delighted and somewhat shocked; this is her first tooth to fall out, but several of her school friends already have missing teeth.

Once she’d calmed down, she had a good long phone conversation with my parents — obviously there is a lot to chat about when a tooth falls out.
