Last week marked the first of the biting reports and then they came daily :( Miss Amanda would write a little note that said, "...your child attempted to bite one of their friends today..." well obviously, if O is trying to bite them, they aren't his friend...ha! I of course freaked out, worried sick that my child was going to be one of those kids that constantly bites their classmates and comes close to getting expelled...Worry set in! But his teacher said not to worry that each time he was acting in defense. "He is the smallest and youngest in his class and he is still trying to express his words...and he's teething bad so not to worry", they would tell me but still as a mom I worried especially after I got report after report last week.
To Owen's defense, he did get bit by another kid the week before that left a nasty bruise so who knows, maybe he learned to bite from other kids.
Well, Thursday Owen tried to bite my leg. He was playing around and laughing but wanted my attention and I was in the middle of making dinner. I guess he wanted my attention so he tried to bite me. I immediately grabbed his hand and yelled NO!!!!!!!!!!! And I guess I scared him, he cried for a bit. I felt horrible but I knew he needed to learn that biting was NOT ok. Let's just say Friday when G'ma picked him up from school, no biting report!! Maybe it worked :) Oh and now he knows the word NO, so maybe now he will use it!
Side note he opened his mouth to bite my finger on Sunday and then just kissed it :) Maybe he had slight memory loss but it made me feel so much better to know that he knew it was wrong...YAY! Mommy=1, Owen=0...ha!
