I Thought She Liked To Read

You know, common sense is apparently not my strong suit. I think to myself, "Oh, Nyla really likes to read and look at these wonderful cardboard books that she can't tear! Let's get her some of these." This little idea worked for a few months. Then Miss Thing learned how to chew books and gnaw pieces off.

Now we have a whole litter of books that look like this:

And those missing pieces off of the books? She eats them. If we don't pay super close attention to her, she will completely mush the cardboard and swallow it, which is followed by some super dramatic coughing and a regurgitation of the book. Mmm...nummy.

I guess it's time to find an alternative to these cardboard books. The library has these Indestructible Books brand that we may have to try.
