Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The booster seat isn't in the story, I just wanted to be sure I could have her not in one without losing plausibility.

Man, my adult teeth came in pretty early, but I had a relatively compressed period of tooth loss--five would be way early--if kids start that early, when are their teeth fully swapped over?

I know jackshit about "real" kids--I need to make sure whichever reference I choose from the internet (and that does sound creepy to me too) is sensible.

Amy can testify from my period of drawing Weechesters that they all blend together for me in terms of sizes...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, hey, it's Ser Jorah!

Playing more or less the same plot, if you think about it.

Casper is 9.5 and has only 4 baby teeth left, and those are all loose. According to her orthodontist, she's at the young end for this stage. She lost her first tooth at 5 and lost them steadily through about 7, then had a long hiatus before losing 8 in the last 9 months. (All 8 incisors go first, then a break, then the 12 premolars and canines.)

Well, I only just met him, and I did see him being slimy with Lavinia, and possibly blackmailing her?, which seems less Ser Jorah-like than I know about but I've only seen the first two seasons of Game of Thrones, too, so that's as far as my frame of reference extends.

He looks good in tweed, though.

I just went for a four mile walk. Since I don't think I absolutely need anything from Target today, I think I'm going to throw the sheets in the laundry and catch up on some TV.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I thought I was going to start watching Season 3 of Downton Abbey today, but I hadn't realized that PBS only has teasers on the website, not full episodes. Hrmph.

I slept 10 hours last night. God, I needed that.

My last baby tooth only came out at 14 (with help from the dentist), so it can be a very long span of time.

My wisdoms started coming in at 15 and the four that descended had finished by 18. I think my baby teeth were done when I was 9 or 10.

I can't decide if I will be drawing the gap tooth or not.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I lost my first tooth when I was about 5, and the last when I was about 10 or so. My wisdom teeth didn't start coming in until I was almost 30, though, and I've still got one more wisdom tooth that hasn't done anything. (X-rays show it just sitting there, too far down to cause any trouble and thus no point in having it removed.)
