Camille (and Ainsley) brushes her teeth for the first time!

Camille is so smart and funny! She let Ainsley brush her teeth and then accepted the toothbrush from Ainsley and started trying to imitate what Ainsley was doing and brush them herself. It was Ainsley who brought the camera in or I would not have this moment captured on film. Thank you, Ainsley! You are a wonderful big sister!

I've been so worried about Camille with her teeth and her crib! She has been waking up and scraping her teeth on the railing of her crib. It took over a week for her to chew the railing down as much as a glacier might erode in thousands of years (okay, that might be a slight exaggeration!). She did wear it down quite a bit as to where the wood was peeling off in strips. Don't ask me how exactly she did this huge damage in such a short span of time but we did not have this problem with Ainsley (she never slept in her crib!) and we were at a loss as to how to handle this. We realized how dangerous this was and were trying to come up with a solution.


Finally, the answer! Frank took the lead on this project. He researched this and came home the other night with the perfect solution to our problem:  Clear Gummi Crib Rail Cover from Babies R Us for only $15.99. It was easy to install and we've only had it for almost two days so I will have to post an update soon. I will say that it's put my mind at ease. I no longer go running like it's the 100 meter dash in the Olympic finals the second I hear Camille over the monitor.
