Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed something new in the close-up portrait of Kelly in the last post. Indeed, adolescence has arrived:


Metal and plastic have been applied to teeth, at last. Apparently orthodontists don't wire up the whole mouth at once anymore. Kelly adjusted to the braces on her front teeth relatively quickly. Obviously, there are some other teeth that will be in line for braces in the future, but it has all started now.

If nothing else, she now looks like 85% of her friends.
