Daycare has been eventful since we started back to school. One event that has been a permanent fixture is BITING! Our first two weeks of school, Nolan was bit 5 out of 10 days. Some days it was multiple bites. The first time I was a little sad for him. I could just imagine the thoughts going through his head. He has never encountered another kid who hurt him, or a person who hurt him for that matter. (we won't count shot visits....I like to think he forgets about it as soon as we walk out the door) The second time I was a little perturbed. The third time I was down right mad. I won't mention the child's name. We will call him Biter Baby. This kid attacked my baby a few more times and then it all seemed to stop. A week or two went by and Biter Baby seemed to have found something else to chew on....or at least another kid. When we went for Nolan's 1 year appointment, I talked about it with Dr. Ladd. He was the one to bring it up as he saw a bite mark on Nolan's shoulder. He told me not to get too mad about it bc one day my kid was going to be the Biter Baby. I laughed and really didn't think much about it until I got the above note from daycare. Nolan learned to bite and ohhh he did...officially bite three and tried to snack on a few more. Of course, I don't think his biting adventure was done out of meanness. Most, I think, were a combo of rough love and major teething. Nolan and I had a big talk about biting when we got home that evening. Why??? Because he bit me! He was stroking my hair and loving my face one minute, and the next minute he had my cheekbone in a death grip! So, how does karma work again????? Ahhh yes, be careful what you do unto other because they might do the same right back at ya.................
Yep, the day after Nolan went on his biting rampage he was bit two times on the arm. Biter Baby strikes again! I ask you....who would want to bite this uber cute chunk of love???
