Corner protectors??

So, now that Henry is doing more walking than crawling, we decided to slap a few corner protectors on our tv stand....just in case. Now does this picture look like they're doing what they're supposed to be doing? It did take him at least a week before he even noticed them, which surprised me, I thought he would have been on them the first night we put them on. So, yesterday he walked right up to one of them and ripped it of like it was no big deal, chewed on it for a little bit and threw it on the ground (and laughed about it too). Then he walked over to the other one and tried to rip that one off too, but this one won't come off! Now today he's been chewing on it (it is quite a nice little squishy, gummy substance, must feel good on the new teeth) non-stop! Unfortunately, it's encouraging his chomping on the entire tv stand:( He's walking back and forth and trying to chew on the wood (must remind him of his crib, which now has crib-rail-protectors on every possible rail that he can chew on)! I'm thinking I can return the unopened package I was going to use on the coffee table. Oh Henry, what will you come up with next?
