Crayons... REALLY?!

[mommymunchkinss]

I have a 1 1/2 year old who has been having the habit of munching on crayons. CRAYONS!!! Everytime he sees one hes has to eat it. Thank gwadd they are NON TOXIC. But still.. I am hoping this is just a faze bc my oldest cant color in peace with his brother stealing crayons hiding in a corner a munching away on em..

could be they are lacking some type of vitamin or mineral found in the crayon......it's what they found about a child who kept eating the paint off the windows in his home......it lacked iron.........

I've thought about that. But his blood has been checked. I spoke to his pediatrition about this and she said hopefully he grows out of it or he just really likes crayons. Lol.
