Jackson the Beaver

When I put Jack down for naps, he doesn't always fall asleep immediately. Sometimes he plays with his stuffed animals for several minutes, but I usually never worry about him or check on him. A few days ago, we had a little "experience." Jack was working on falling asleep and got really quiet all of a sudden. Even though he was silent, I could still hear his body moving. I waited a few minutes and then listened again. Still silent. For some reason, I just felt like I needed to check on him this time. When I went in his room, he was covered in drool and a black, powdery substance. It took me a few minutes to figure it all out, but I eventually realized that he was chewing right through a layer of black paint on his crib. Here's the evidence.


Luckily, he didn't go through to the raw wood. I sure hope it's non-toxic! It's a good thing he's so dang cute!
