Weirdly he only rips his 2 favorite books during nap time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2634096 Sat, 08 Oct 2016 07:35:22 +0000 PinkElephant 2634096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is very timely..my 2 year old is loving taking books to bed recently. Just yesterday when I got her from her nap, she had peeled the entire paper cover off of the cardboard of a board book. After I was finished being annoyed, I was pretty impressed with how neatly she did it - all one piece with no tears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633956 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 19:00:57 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2633956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: eek. Hopefully she won't start wanting a book in bed. Haha. She loves books though. It's cute to watch her "read" to herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633470 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 04:59:18 +0000 autumnleaves 2633470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped letting DS1 take board books to bed when he naps because he destroyed them. He handled it better than I thought he would. We don't have lift the flap books anymore and have to watch him closely with non board books. The other day he was tearing up his coloring book which is not as bad as his reading books. I was sad when he destroyed his Elmo lift the flap ABC book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633448 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 23:12:14 +0000 Dahlia 2633448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Oh man, DD just insisted on taking a book to bed for the first time tonight. I hope she doesn't get into any shenanigans with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633428 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 22:05:44 +0000 808love 2633428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Might be time for a time out from library books and a switch for e-books until lesson learned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633422 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 21:51:49 +0000 Pancakes 2633422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: My DD2 has also ripped a couple of library books. She always manages to get ahold of her big sister's library books. She has destroyed so many of our own board books too. She peels the page off of the cardboard! I hope she grows out of this stage soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633408 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 21:16:35 +0000 LindsayLou 2633408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a page tearing, book eating 13 month old. She loves books, so I hate to take them all away, but she simply destroys them. Paperbacks, board books, doesn't matter. I know babies chew books, but she eats them, picks a page, bites, and munches away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633404 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 21:07:12 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2633404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: 3 board books have been ripped in half at my house. THREE! She won't fall asleep without a book in her bed....that's how that happened.<br /> @babypugs: seriously. WHYYYY?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633398 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 20:59:08 +0000 babypugs 2633398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I don't get it--she always rips her favorites! Why??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633384 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 20:39:01 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2633384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 11 month old managed to rip a small chunky board book in half and it was a hand me down that had survived other book ripping children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/page-rippers-anonymous#post-2633374 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 20:26:49 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2633374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else have a book ripper? This is DD2's second time to rip a library book :shocked: I thought I had them out of reach but she's gotten taller and grabbed one while I was cooking dinner. :bummed: </p>
