LOL! We have always been grateful for the fact that DS didn't get his first teeth until he was about 14 months old. He had learned to run, then walk before he had teeth, so we had fewer bloody lips from falls. He is also on the late end for losing his baby teeth. He was 8 before he lost his first tooth and at 10 still has a couple front baby teeth.

However, I'll add in another Old Wise Tale. Our dentist told us that the later kids get their teeth and the longer they keep their baby teeth,the healthier their adult teeth will be. Not sure if there is any truth to this one or not, I think it is more a matter of genetics.
