Well, I returned home this afternoon to find Wyatt down for a nap and Heidi enjoying solo time with our nanny, Catherine. Such a nice treat for Heidi to have all of Catherine’s attention. Wyatt woke up a short time later. Upon going to collect him from his room I found the crib had something on it. See the cream color on the edge of the crib…upper left?

As I step closer I realize there is nothing on the crib. Quite the opposite. There is something off of the crib. Finish! Non toxic stain and varnish to be exact.

Beautiful!

I am baffled. Has my perfect little 7 month old baby boy, Wyatt, who has just learned to pull himself up to kneeling actually learned to pull completely up, putting him at the perfect height to do such a thing? Or did Heidi somehow climb in the crib via the stool next to it and do the damage herself? (See prior record below.) Nah…she couldn’t have. Never unsupervised. Only eats HER crib. I laid Wyatt down and looked in his little smiling mouth to find little brown flecks of stain. It would appear that Wyatt can indeed pull up completely and found chewing on the crib very entertaining. I say entertaining because this was done by teeth he finished cutting long ago, like two months ago. This is not teething relief. This is fun.

Heidi Crib Demolition Project began: age 14 months (current age: 21 months)

Wyatt Crib Demolition Project began: age 7 months (current age: 7 months)

Estimated project completion date: TBD (Project ongoing in Heidi’s crib; she has almost completed all four sides. I expect the same for Wyatt’s crib.)

For those of you who didn’t see last year’s post…
