Busy As a Beaver

Ethan's crib has accumulated some serious damage after numerous months of teething.
Despite having several stuffed animals and chewy toys available, Ethan has been taking out his teething on his poor wooden crib. We've tried the rail guards, but because the railing is so wide they don't fit well and therefore don't stay on for long. First time it happened, I thought he'd cut himself somehow as the flaky red varnish had combined with his saliva and was all over his chin. Then I discovered he'd been gnawing on the railing. Nearly had a heart attack.
