What do mosquito's, sharks and my
children have in common? They all bite. Both of my girls were
biters. Thankfully another child at daycare chomped on my oldest nipping
that in the bud fairly early on. We were not so fortunate with the second
one.
Her prey has always been her big
sister as at a young age she determined that biting was a successful method in
retrieving her desired item from her older sister. The biting issue had
started to fade and dissipate the older she has gotten. They are fairly
close in age and size so currently they are fairly evenly matched. For
these reasons I believed our biting issue had ceased until earlier this week.
My mom was watching our girls and
having fun playing with them both. She had our smaller one perched on her
hip while the bigger one was tickling her sister's legs and feet.
Apparently things got a little carried away and the small one sunk her
teeth in deep. My mom instantly dropped her to the ground and yelped out
of pain. She informed the little one that she had hurt her and that biting
is not allowed.
My mom's interior of her arm was
black with tiny teeth indentations. She seemed to understand the message
that she had really hurt my mom; perhaps all to well.
The next day we were still
visiting my parents. Once more my mom was playing with the girls.
My youngest decided that she should have a treat of candy at
approximately 8 in the morning. My mom decided that this probably wasn't
the best time for treats and told her "No, not right now". To
this my youngest uttered her first threat,
"I bite you".
Hopefully this is our last
incident...
