When I went to go pick up Evie Lu from daycare Friday afternoon I was reflecting on how smoothly this transition had gone and how Evangeline really had a pain free first week. Pain free that is until Friday. Miss Sharon greeted me at the door and told me we needed to talk. For the first time in my life I had the feeling of going into a parent teacher conference to discuss my child's shortcomings. In fact we discussed another child's behavior. Evie Lu got bit.
The picture above is out of focus (you try taking a picture of a toddler's wrist) and the bite mark has faded considerably since yesterday, but you can just make out a ring of red below Evie Lu's wrist. The good news is the bite didn't really faze Evie Lu all that much. No skin was broken and Miss Sharon put ice on it right away. I had to sign an incident report form and regulations precluded me from being told the other child's name, but knowing Evie Lu she probably just sat on the kid later in the day.
Saturday chores
And just so you know, the daycare constant sniffles have started. Oh, joy!

As a biter myself, I apologize on the child's behalf. Sometimes we can't control ourselves. Just don't stoop to our level, Evie!
And that pic of snot dribbling out of the left nostril? Yeah, that one secures my baby-free life for at least another year. Seriously. Ew.
olivia has had problems with that as well...only she is on the other end...the 'giving' end.
not that she means to bite, but she just wants to hug and kiss. never has she bitten quite that hard though.
olivia would like to 'kiss' evie's owie!
love
