A shockingly non-dietary post, though a toothsome bit nonetheless.

My family genetic tends towards big teeth, small jaws.  Michael's family doesn't have little teeth either.  Kate's baby teeth have been so perfectly tiny that the permanent teeth coming in have been quite something!  No wonder it takes so long for them to grow in -- there's just no room.
In this picture you can see that the front right tooth and the one behind it are big new permanent teeth.  That tiny thing on the left side isn't a fragment -- it's her whole baby tooth.  Yes, the permanent one is about 4x the size of those tiny baby chicklets!  Yes, we fully expect to spend the rest of our lives paying for orthodontia.

Maybe the tooth fairy should pay double for the perfect little tooth.

Congratulations Kate on your new permant tooth. That's really one to be proud of.

OK this is getting old. Pops is none other than your Mother-in-Law. How do I change this back to my name?
