Beaver Boy

We have a little beaver living with us!! I went to get Hudson out of his crib one morning and noticed teeth marks all over the sides of his crib, including a giant missing chunk!! Yikes! We always thought it was cute how Hudson moves to the sides of his crib...we did not realize it was because he was chowing down on the rails!! (Smart little boy doesn't like to chew on the long side that came with a plastic teething guard!!) I still don't understand why they only put the guard on one side of the crib. Parents are busy and exhausted already, why do they have to make more work for us? I ventured out in search of guards for the sides, but the stores only carry the stick on ones that,from what I've read, peel off and remove the paint with it. Since Hudson pulled the safety bumpers off our fireplace in about a day, I decided those weren't going to work for the crib. We ordered some from Amazon, but had to do something in the meantime because both Nic and I were disturbed by the thought of Hudson eating chunks of wood. We used our bumper as a make shift teething guard and I must admit it is working pretty well. :) Plus, it has given us an excuse to use our adorable bumper. (yes, I am the stereotypical first time mom who had to have the entire crib set even though Hudson would only really use the sheets).Hopefully beaver boy is enjoying his new bumper crib. ;)
