Shark Teeth

Eli's been complaining that his lower front teeth hurt.  We basically told him to get over it and get on with his day.  I always just assumed he would be that kid who doesn't lose a tooth until he's 10.  Then we discovered this...

Yup, that's 2 rows of bottom teeth.  His grown up teeth are growing in BEHIND his baby teeth.  After closer inspection, his front two teeth are wiggly, so that's at least good news.  And, after consulting my nearest and dearest FaceBook friends (including our Dental Hygenist), it appears this is perfectly normal and hopefully will not require orthodontic treatment.

One of my bottom eye teeth did this. It is still a little 'behind', but no one can tell. I never had braces either. I think I had to have the baby tooth pulled their so it might have taken too long to come out and that's why it's not perfectly in line, but it's not a big deal at all.
