so remember back in the day when all those toys made in china had lead and people were freaking out because children were chewing on them and stuff? yeah, that was bad. now the government is demanding that all products made for children under 12 be tested for various materials that can damage children. this includes books. regular paper and ink

What about books ABOUT lead? Clearly these will be destroyed too, right? lol

we've got to protect our kids from themselves. If we don't, we may end up with a race of intelligent people that aren't prone to doing stupid things. And nobody wants that, now do we?

so today, before i read this, i walked into anna's room after she got up from her nap and there she was, holding her Woof's Bedtime board book proudly aloft. it was missing an entire corner. little pieces of wet book mush were scattered about her crib, all over her face, and coated her pacifier. and i found myself thinking "hmmm...hopefully no lead based inks"

good to know she can continue to love her books in unconventional ways and still be safe...
