No Bite!

It's amazing how many commands you give a young child sound like something you would tell a puppy in training...Yes, we're trying to have some stern conversations with Logan about biting. Today at daycare, he was watching one of the little girls playing with a car. (I'm guessing he probably wanted to steal the car but didn't know how to go about getting it.) So he started to push the little girl, who was, in turn, pushing the car. While everyone laughed at first, seeing the connection between the two actions, the little girl understandably became annoyed and told Logan to stop pushing her. Next thing our sitter knew, Logan chomped onto the little girl's shoulder. Not good. We'll try it again tomorrow... I think I'll give him a little pep talk tomorrow in the car on the way to daycare. "C'mon, little dude! We bite food, not people!" I feel for him, though, because he sure has faced a lot of changes in the past couple of days.

I wouldn't worry too much about the biting. I haven't know a kid yet that didn't give or recieve a bite at daycare. They learn fast that they don't like to be bit back which is what usually ends up happening! It's all part of daycare & learning to get along :)
