[tri-med] Re: Missing baby tooth

I had a fun "my trier daughter is better than you even though she's  
the same age" moment yesterday :) (No, I didn't say anything rude out  
loud!). We were at a family reunion with extended family, and Keren's  
3rd cousin who's a few months older than Keren came over to see her,  
asking all kinds of questions. It's amazing what they're curious  
about! Anyway, the girl soon moved on the "bigger and better things"-- 
she showed me how she had just lost her first tooth. The first  
thought that went through my head was, "Wow! She's old for that!  
Keren's already lost three!" Just goes to show how we begin to take  
our own experiences as the norm!

our 3-year-old Tigger who amazes me and drives me crazy (7/17/05) ),  
and Evelyn Ruth who's full of cheeky grins... (4/26/07)
