Ate a Tooth

Francis lost one of her top front teeth yesterday. She was eating a muffin as we walked up the sidewalk at Lily B. Elementary. Only seconds after talking about how she might lose her tooth at school, she stopped in her tracks and said, "It's Gone!"

We retraced her steps, but couldn't find the tooth. My guess is that, like her very first lost tooth, this one is in her belly. I expected her to be a little upset, since she had been looking forward to the celebration that accompanies losing a tooth at school (including wearing a special necklace with the lost tooth inside). She just laughed about eating another tooth.
