[tri-med] Re: Missing baby tooth

Good story!
I'm not worried about Claire swallowing her tooth(tho I probably should be)
as she's proved to me that her gag reflexes are quite good!.
She would throw it up before swallowing something she didn't want to
swallow.
So sounds like after the first tooth, she may not lose another for a
while... but I know every kid is different.
My daughter (Claire's big sis) is insisting on putting the tooth under a
little pillow that she gave Claire.
Claire's grandma asked the same question about the tooth/pillow and wondered
out loud how Claire would do financially on the exchange.  I suggested that
Claire would be happier with bananas under her pillow than with money.  :O)

It is strange that the triers seem to be losing baby teeth early or on
time... not what I would have guessed at all.
And it seems obvious than many on our list are probably at conference?
